New iPad PDF won't open in iBooks from Safari

I found the PDF in the Federal Regester I needed in Safari it offered me the option to open in iBooks, iBooks opens but the PDF is not there. I've done a search to make sure I didn't miss it. This is the first time I've ever had a issue with this process. Any ideas?

Can you share a direct link to the PDF or steps on how to view the PDF starting at <https://www.federalregister.gov/>?

PDF won't open in iBooks after latest software update

I have a large pdf file (biology textbook) that I would read on my iPad. It worked flawlessly until the latest software update (4.3.1). Now I can only see the first page and it only shows page 1 of 1, even though it is taking up all 450MB of space. I can't see any other pages and they aren't even shown at the bottom of the screen in iBooks. I tried deleting the file from iTunes and resyncing it. I also tried a full restore of my entire iPad and that didn't work. It was working fine before the software update so I don't know what to do. Thanks

TS1702 I have ePub documents that won't open using iBooks, how can i get them formatted so that I can use them

I have ePub documents that won't open using iBooks, how can i get them formatted so that I can use them

You could try downloading a program called Calibre. It is very good at converting files between formats. I use it all the time to convert PDF's from work to read on iTunes when I don't want to have to keep zooming in and out to read the actual text.
I know that iBooks will read PDF's but they can get pretty squashed down some times. Especially if the original font was small to begin with. So I run them through Calibre and then email them to my phone and open them in iBooks.

Imported PDF won't open because it has no forms to fill but it does

Can you send the PDF form you are trying to import to [email protected] so we can take a look at it.

SOME pdfs won't open...

Dear all,
My problem is kind of odd as you can see in the title...
So some pdfs won't open neither in web browsers (Chrome, Firefox and Safari) nor in Preview. The odd part is that some do open normally both in browsers and Preview.
I deleted the AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin but it doesn't solve the problem.
Anyone has an idea about what can be wrong?
Thanks for your help,
Poteyuh
NB: I have a mac mini with Maverick on it and a MacBookPro (13" Mid 2009) with OS X 10.7.5

Pdf files in email won't open in ibooks ios7 upgrade issue

Since upgrading to ios7, I can no longer open pdf received in email to ibooks.

Yes. We noticed this problem after upgrading to 10.6.7. When we made a PDF from Word 2011 or even Text Edit through Adobe's "Save as Adobe PDF" it would hang. When we made a PDF using Apple's "Save as PDF" it would lock up Acrobat Pro 9 and also Acrobat Pro X. NOTE that this only happened using Adobe OTF fonts.
I posted this problem on Adobe's forum and received a message from admin there that this was caused by a change in font handling with Apple's 10.6.7 update.
As of yet, no solution has been posted. I also received a message from Adobe's Tech Support that it was forwarded to their engineers.
Still waiting.

PDF's won't open in iBooks

Hi,
When I download a PDF in safari and tap the open in iBooks button iBooks opens but the PDF does not download into there. I am running ios5.1 on an iPad 2. I have many books and some PDFs on there all open and work ok but it's when I try and add the issue arises.
Any guidance would be great.
Thanks.

I have encountered this same issue on iOS 5.0.1
When I was running the earlier 4.x iOS, I could easily open any PDF that was within Safari or attached to an email and open that and manage it via iBooks. But now with iOS 5.01, when I select "Open in iBooks" the iBooks app opens, but nothing else happens.
I can open PDFs in Adobe Reader as normal, but I really like to manage my PDFs within iBooks, so I hope there is a work around or this is fixed soon.

PDF won't open in FireFox/IE on XP SP3 if Rdr9.3x and Acrobat 6.06

I've been fighting this for a few days. The platform is a windows XP SP3 domain client with Acrobat 6.0.6 and Acrobat Reader 9. (The platform was recently re-installed from scratch owing to malware infestation and is now "pristine".)
I discovered that if I install Acrobat Reader 8 PRIOR to installing Reader 9, PDF files will open in the browser windows. BUT, if Reader 8 is NOT installed prior to Reader 9, the PDF file won't open and a commonly reported error message occurs.
FireFox shows that when the viable installation sequence (as above) is followed, the Adobe Acrobat Plugins installed include support for mime types: pdf, vnd.adobe.pdfxml, vnd.adobe.x-mars, vnd.fdf, vnd.adobe.xfdf, vnd.adobe.xdp+xml, and vnd.adobe.xfd+xml. If Reader 8 is NOT installed prior to Reader 9, only the pdf mime type.
The PDFs that were the immediate cause of all this trouble were PDF forms with blanks to fill-in -- if that makes a difference.
The symptoms are reproducible.
Also, if you have Reader 9 installed and are experiencing this problem, simply uninstall it, install Reader 8, then install Reader 9. The required MIME type support seems to be supplied by the Reader 8 installation and stays around when Reader 9 is installed.
Hope this helps some folks.

The path to your CSS file is incorrectly pointing to file:/// on your local hard drive. This won't work on the web.

PDF Won't open for my colleagues from Mavericks.

Hey everyone I have a pretty interesting issue that I have contacted Adobe and Apple about but to no avail...
ISSUE
PDF's won't open when I send them via email (all email clients) on OS X Mavericks, but will open when I send them via PC (all email clients), flash drives or any other means.
Note: Will open on every other platform; OX Mountain Lion, PC, and all email clients not using Mavericks. I have sent out these PDF's for months now (before upgrading to Mavericks) and never had this problem.
WHAT I'M SEEING
The file is 155kb but when emailing from Mavericks it says 0 bytes.
"Acrobat could not open "file name" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded). To create an Adobe PDF document, go to the source application. Then print the document to Adobe PDF."
ENVIRONMENT
Adobe Reader (Not sure what versions my colleagues have)
Tested on Both Windows xp/vista/7/8 and OS X all versions
STEPS TAKEN THAT HAVEN'T WORKED
Resaved the file.
Stored it in a different location.
Sent from different email clients on Mavericks
Rebooted and tried again
Updated everything
Uninstall/reinstall
If anyone has any idea on how to identify a fix for the issues, I would greatly appreciate your help. The problem with the idea that the files are corrupt, is that there I have tested out every possible way to prove the file is curropted and to no avail.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Well I found out the update I reinstalled Safari from(the latest combo update) wasn't working because it was installing an incomplete copy of the application. My friend sent me his copy of Safari and it worked again so my issue is solved. It had to have been user-specific because Safari still worked for other users but in the process of removing my user's Safari related things I probably went too far and that's why I messed it up further. Copying his Safari into my apps folder(and fixing the accounts in its privileges) has solved my problems for that.

When I scan in color the PDF won't open.

When I scan a document in 24-bit color or in True Gray with either Adobe Reader 10.1.4 or 11.0.4 It gives me an error message saying I don't have permission to write to that folder. This happens no matter what folder I try to write to. It does create a file of the pdf scan but the file won't open; the error message says the file is damaged.
However if I scan in B&W or in Gray with Error Diffusion everything works fine.
This problem appeared suddently with no apparent cause.

You may want to talk to whomever makes your scanning software. You don't "scan" with Adobe Reader. You simply use it to open files after the fact and it sounds like the scanner software is corrupting the files.

PDF does not "Open in iBooks" or "Open with" any apps from Safari.

Hi,
After update to iOS 5, I noticed that PDFs in Safari does not "Open in iBooks" or "Open with" any other apps. The option is available, however, nothing happens when I click on it. Has anyone else experienced such an issue?
Thanks,
Bibin

I have exactly the same issue.
Here is something even more bizarre.
If I go in Safari to
arxiv.org/abs/1012.4362
and click on the link to the pdf it displays it in Safari fine, but wont open it in GoodReader (it will upload it to dropbox but then isnt viewable in there).
However, if I go to the same link in Opera, click on the pdf then, as usual, it opens the pdf in Safari. But now the pdf *can* be uploaded to GoodReader from Safari!

Pdf won't open because creative cloud membership expired

My creative cloud membership expired.
Now on that computer, PDF files won't open, a popup window opens says my creative cloud membership expired.
I didn't know Acrobat was tied to CreativeCloud.
Can someone help me understand this?

If you did not buy a perpetual license for CS6 then any program you RENT via the Cloud stops working when you stop paying rent

PDFs won't save in iBooks

I used to be able to open in iBooks and my PDFs would save into iBooks. It was a great system. It appears ios5 has created issues with this. I try at least 4-5 times per PDF and it still doesn't work. It for a split second appears to work then it disappears. I have rebooted and restarted but still doesn't work. I am saving PDFs to kindle currently which over comes the problem however I want my iBooks back.

Sorry to hear that the problem is back.
I don't know if you have a problematic pdf file causing the issue, an app conflict, iBooks just can't handle the load - or who knows whatever at this point.
I don't know what else to try except to go back to the basics. Why don't you close apps and restart - if you haven't tried this already. You shouldn't have to close apps at all - unless of course one of your apps is wreaking havoc for some reason with iBooks. See if that makes any difference.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

My book won't open in iBooks on ipad

I Have been reading my book with no problem on my ipad. All of a sudden the book won't open???

Try closing iBooks app via the taskbar and then re-open it and see if that book opens: double-click the home button to open the taskbar and then swipe or drag the iBooks app's 'screen' up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
If not, and if the book is still in your country's store, then delete the book from the bookshelf via the Edit button top right, and then redownload it via the Purchased tab in the iBookstore in the app. If it's no longer in the store then copy the book to your computer's iTunes library (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases), delete it from your iPad, and resync it and retry opening it.
