How can I send to my MacBook my PDFs only stored in my iBooks apps's iPad ?
All my personnal PDF are stored in my iPad and I've restored OS X in my Mac.
I want to sent the PDF back to the Mac.

Hi gauthierfromcannes,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
What version of the Mac OS X do you have on your computer? Mavericks comes with iBooks, so you can access anything that is on your iPad mini on your Macbook.

How to attach a PDF from Ibooks to a current email - help !

Hello,
I am using an Ipad mini and can't figure something out.
I have a long email and would like to attach a PDF file to my latest response. The PDF is currently in my IBooks.
I know I can send the PDF in a new/clean email, but the point is that I would like to be able to attach it to the current email. I can insert a photo or a video but there doesnt seem to be a way to insert a PDF file.
I tried to open the PDF up in a new mail, cut it, then paste it into the existing email, but even that doesn't seem to work - I checked my sent box and there was no attachment on the mail when I tried it that way. The only way around the problem I can think of is to create the new email with the attachment, save it as a draft, go back into the original mail, copy it, go back into drafts and paste the existing text around my attachment - but this is a ridiculous and time-consuming process and not really practical.
Can anyone kindly advise? I think there will be an easy solution, but I just dont see it yet -
Thanks, M

There is no way to do what you are trying to do. You have to send the email and the pdf from iBooks.
Open the PDF in iBooks then tap the arrow icon in the upper left corner and select Email. Copy and paste the entire lengthy email into this new email in iBooks and send it that way, its clunky, but it is really the only way to accomplish what you want to accomplish using an iPad and the mail app. You can cancel the email in the iBooks app and it will allow you to save the draft and you can go back to using the mail app to send it, or just send the email from iBooks.
The mail app will only allow you to insert photos and videos as attachments.

Deleting pdfs from iBooks?

I have Files HD on my iPad, and when I open a pdf in Files HD and hit the "Open In iBooks" button, it adds the pdf file to my iBooks app (as it should). My problem is that when I delete the pdf from iBooks, it appears to disappear, UNTIL I open another pdf from Files HD... then, every file I've viewed shows up again. How do I permanently remove them from the pdf bookshelf?
Thanks very much.
edit Opened iBooks without opening another file from Files HD, and it repopulated the pdf list again automatically.

That works if you've loaded the pdf files from iTunes, but when you view them from Files HD it doesn't appear in iTunes when you sync, and it doesn't stay deleted when you delete it from iBooks.
The only way I was able to permanently delete the pdfs from iBooks was to uninstall Files HD from my iPad. Now that iBooks handles pdfs I don't really have a use for it anyway, but it was handy to have for transferring files around.

Can I take a PDF from iBooks and make it a numbers document?

Can I take a PDF from iBooks and make it a numbers document?

To do this on your phone, copy and paste them into your document (tap and hold on the photo to copy it). If you need to import it to your computer to do this, save it to the camera roll by tapping Edit, tap the photos you want to import, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. You can then import them to your computer using your usb cable (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083). Alternatively, attach them 3-4 at a time emails and send them to yourself.

Email pdf from iBooks isn't always possible

I have copied some pdfs from my computer to iPad when I synced. They are pdfs I made myself from Keynote presentations. When I open the files in iBooks, I can see the little arrow icon for export. When I tap it, there are usually 2 options, print and email. However sometimes the email option doesn't appear. I have made all the files in the same way so I don't understand why some files can be emailed and others can't.
Is anyone else having this problem.
Can anyone help?
Thank you.

I think I just figured this out myself.
The option doesn't appear when the file is too big to email!

Any way to move a non-DRM pdf from iBooks on iPad to Mac?

I downloaded a large number of pdfs from the web to my iPad and "saved" them in iBooks. Scare quotes fully justified. There are numerous posts describing situations in which people have lost such files, particularly when they have tried to use something seemingly safe like backing up the iPad and then using restore.
Is there anyway to backup these files:
- Export from iBooks?
- Backup of iPad via iTunes or iCloud?
- Sync via iTues?
There is an option in iBooks that lets the user email a single file, but this would be extremely tedious to do for every single file.
Is anyone aware of any comparable instance in which a vendor makes it so difficult to move content out of an application, impossible to backup, and so easy to lose?

And what useful purpose does it serve to poll users for this type of information in a user to user support forum? If you want to rant or complain, your using the wrong venue. Like deggie, I have never lost anything when updating or restoring from a backup.
Try another PDF app as there are probably hundreds of them in the App Store. The Adobe Reader app that allows you to highlight, annotate, sign, read and fill out form fields, create folders, and so much more that you can do in iBooks. It works with file sharing and iTunes and it is free.

PDF that Can Import PDFs from iBooks?

Hi. Is there a good third-party PDF reader than can will read from iBooks PDF that'll work with iPhone 3G? Most PDF readers need a Mac to transfer the PDF to it's iOS app.
Thank you.
God bless.

Thanks for the very prompt answer! That seems like it sort of does what I want - however, once I leave the course, I want to have the system continue to work - and future Admins probably wont have access to Acrobat Pro, or the technical knowledge to send out looking for responses. Nor is there a sharepoint (or equivalent drive) to set. Perhaps some further explanation is required.
There are multiple classes going on at one time, and each class gets a folder on a standalone machine, with a different Admin in charge of each class. When one graduates, another one fills in behind them a week or so afterwards. So what I need is a "template" file for student data, and a template "Master list" that pulls from all of the student data PDFs in that folder, locally, without the Master list having to send out requests for information. That way, when a new class starts, the students can email in their student data, the Admin can pop them all in a folder with a blank Master List template, and when the admin opens the Master list, it populates with all the data from the student sheets.
Hopefully that is a little clearer, and hopefully doable! It really needs to be pretty darn simple. We used to do it in Excel, and gave each student a tab where we copy/pasted their basic data - and a crosslinked sheet pulled it into the master list. Alas, that looked unprofessional and sometimes was very troublesome when the students altered the Excel form in any way or put things in the wrong cells.
Thanks!

Can I copy part of a PDF from iBooks?

I emailed a PDF to my iPad.
Then opened it in iBooks.
Now I want to copy part or all of the document into a Pages document.
I can't find a way to get a Select or Copy menu to come up.
I've tried tapping, double tapping, and holding my finger on the page?
Thanks for any help!

Hi,
Copy the content of PDF file in Adobe Reader and paset it to MS Word then create PDF file from the Word file.
This may not work for all PDF files as some PDF files are not created correctly or some content cannot be copied.
Acrobat XI Pro has features to extract/delete/crop pages in PDF files and you can download it from www.adobe.com(Trial version- 30 days free). Or you can upgrade your subscription to Acrobat Plus and see more information at https://www.acrobat.com/acrobatplus/en/home.html

HT4059 PDFs from ibooks Author limitations?

Are there limitations to the PDFs that one can create from a book authored with ibooks author (for people who don't have apple devices to be able to read)?

Yes, there are many limitations - an iBA PDF lacks the interactivity that an .ibooks file would have, including links, TOC, etc.
Consider it a preview that allows for basic review.
What other devices are you attempting to target?
Keep in mind that iBA outputs a hybrid epub, which is why iBooks on iOS is required (coming to the next OS X), while Pages outputs an industry standard epub, which is cross-platform.

Cannot print PDF from iBook G4 and iMac G5 to HP printer

I cannot print any PDF documents or any downloads from websites that convert to PDFs onto our HP 6110. All other applications or documents do work. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Some more information would be useful:
What application are you using to print, Preview, Adobe Reader, Acrobat, or something else?
What happens when you try to print? Can you not select it from the File menu? Does something go wrong with the Print dialog box? Is it something that happens afterwards?

HT204365 can not email pdf from ibooks

I have an 88 pg PDF presentation saved in ibooks, when I tap the arrow only the "print" option appears. I have email option on every other PDF file in ibooks. Any idea why it doesn't work for this single file?

Firefox 19 introduced a new PDF Viewer that doesn't have all of the features of the Adobe plugin. To see whether that is causing your problem, check out this article and let us know whether it helps: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]].
