How can I rotate pdf's in iBooks

I'm trying to rotate documents in iBooks but to no avail

The most obvious is to rotate your ipad. Much more fun is to go to settings> general> accessibility> assistive touch> on. Now go back to the pdf, tap the onscreen black button, tap device, tap rotate screen, choose which way you want to rotate screen.

How can I open a PDF in iBooks on iPhone 5s?

I have PDFs in iBooks. When I try to open them it says I should open them with Adobe Reader. I downloaded Adobe Reader but can't seem to get the PDFs to open with it.
I found a previous thread saying that you can't use Adobe Reader with iBooks, but that was before the 5s came out, so I'm starting a new thread. If you can't open a PDF from iBooks with Adobe Reader, why is it telling me to use Adobe Reader? And how else can I open it?
This shows what happens when I try to read my PDF, and click on the icon that's supposed to let me open it in Adober Reader:

This particular file is a PDF Portfolio, which needs Flash to display correctly. When you open a PDF Portfolio in the Adobe Reader mobile it will open in list view to get around the fact that Flash isn't supported on iOS. So, it won't open properly in a native viewer on iOS only within the Adobe Reader.

Password protected PDF in iBooks not displaying

I loaded a password protected PDF into my iTunes library and then synced it with iPad (4th gen iOS 6.1.3). I see the PDF in iBooks on the iPad and when I click on it, it prompts for the password. I input the password and PDF "opens" but it's just the blank grey screen showing page 1/1 (it's supposed to be a 79 page document). Any ideas? I took the password off the document and loaded that one into iTunes then my iPad and it displays just fine. I did this same sequence with a different document and with the password it didn't display and without the password it did display.
If there is an issue with iBooks, any way to sideload this into Adobe Reader, or somehow "Open in" Adobe Reader from iBooks?
Thanks
Dan

It looks like this issue may be limited to files that have been set to restrict the user's ability to print or edit the document (even after a password has been entered for viewing). I found that a password-protected PDF could be viewed in iBooks, but after I added the print restriction, I had the same problem you reported.

How do I open pdfs in iBook and not Adobe reader? (OS X Mavericks)

On iOS devices, I can save and read pdfs in iBooks. How do I do it in the new application for OS X Mavericks?

Hello there, FootballTechGeek.
The following Knowledge Base article shows how this can be done:
OS X Mountain Lion: Choose an app to open a document
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11329
Particularly:
Permanently change the document’s app
Select the document and choose File > Get Info.
In the Info window, click the triangle next to “Open with” to expand the section.
Choose an app from the pop-up menu, or choose Other to locate a different app.
If you want to use that app to open all documents of the same type as the current document and created by the same app, click Change All.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

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.

How do you email 1 page from a pdf in iBooks?

I have multi-page plans in iBooks and want to send only 1 page to a subcontractor and not the entire set of plans. How do you only e-mail one page of a multi-page PDF in iBooks?
Thanks,
Victor

You could try copy/paste.
But you would probably have more luck switching to an app really designed for working with pdf files rather than ebooks, like GoodReader.

Why can't I add a playlist of PDFs to iBooks?

I have added a few hundred PDFs to my iTunes library. I was then able to add these PDFs to a playlist with some videos and music. I can simply select the playlist under videos and music and easily add all the audio and movie files but when it comes to adding the PDFs I still have to do this manually one by one to iBooks. There is a similar question to this one asked in an existing thread but I have a bigger question in mind. Why would iTunes let me add the PDFs to a playlist if I can't even add a playlist to iBooks? Is there some other point to organizing a bunch of PDFs on iTunes? iTunes doesn't even display PDFs. How can I add PDFs to iTunes in a quicker manner? Is this an option that Apple will be integrating in the near future?
Yes, I have used Goodreader, but I would like an easier, quicker, integrated syncing option and one that doesn't make me manually manage the PDFs. I also make recomendations to customers about how they should manage their PDF documents and want to use iBooks so that I'm not telling them they are forced to spend more $$ in order to have this feature.

No other solution at this time. Are you using iPad or iPhone?
iPad - I can understand why you ask. It's too bad you can't sync PDF playlist. Right now the only way is to use Sugarsync. From there you can "Open PDF in iBooks". Or you can use Goodreader.
iPhone - Why would you want to use iTunes and iBooks? Although iBooks is well designed and handles PDF very well even on iPhone, it doesn't have text-reflow feature which makes PDF reading useless on iPhone unless you want to loose your eye sight soon. So the only way is to sync a folder using Sugarsync. You can access Sugarsync from Goodreader.

Opening PDF in iBooks

Ever since downloading and using Dropbox app on iPad and iPhone 4S, I can no longer open a pdf file from safari or email attachment and read a PDF in iBooks. My only options to open in are Dropbox and Go Daddy apps. I can't figure out how to return iBooks as one of the <open> options.

I actually did change my settings so that iBooks is the default application for opening PDFs and it was visible in iBooks, but still opened in Adobe Reader. This was the main change to the system update I was really looking foward to, so I'm quite disappointed.

Can a PDF in iBooks link to an mp3 in iTunes

We understand that documents are siloed with the apps in the iOS 5 file directory. However, if I want to link a PDF in iBooks to an mp3 in iTunes is that possible?

doubt it
seen pdfs in genral which have links to other parts of the document
and links to webpages but never seen an pdf which liked to a file on a disc
and I speak about general not ios which is much more restricted then a pc
so I would not hold my breath for that feature being supported or introduced

Page turn effect doesn't work for PDFs in iBooks

Hi All,
Page turn in iBooks doesn't seem to be working for PDF files. Whenever I open the PDF file on Macbook, iBooks opens the file in Acrobat reader.
I was just wondering if this is the default behaviour or something can be changed to get the page turn effect for PDFs in iBooks.
Configuration:
Macbook Pro OS X 10.9.2
I would appreciate any help on this.

That is normal. My PDFs open in Preview as that is what I use as the default application for reading PDFs.

Acrobat Pro V8 problem with rotating PDFs

I have CS3 suite with Acrobat Pro V8.1.2 running on OSX 10.5.4.
I rotate PDFs for our printer (photographic Lightjet430 laser printer using postershop) it saves time, and it also makes things easier for us in general.
Now I sometimes rip the PDFs into photoshop, this is where my problem starts.
If a PDF say 500mm wide X 2000mm high is rotated in Acrobat and re-saved so now 2000w X 500h. If I open this in Photoshop it shows me a preview as 2000wx500h BUT the size is reported as 500w X 2000h. If you then rip this PDF it will rip as 500mm wide X 125mm high (Wrong). The only way around this is to rotate this PDF back to 500w X 2000h then rip again and it will then rip as 500x2000.
Now if I get this PDF and rotate using OSXs Preview, it will work. I open the PDF that I rotated in Preview and photoshop will show and tell me that it is 2000Wx500H and it rips as 2000x500.
I have 7 other Macs with the same setup and they all do the same thing. I got a friend on a PC using XP and Acrobat 8.1.2 and it also did the same thing.
Using another PDF program on his PC made it work.
Now for some reason the Newer version of PosterShop 7.1 (wasn't a problem with Postershop 6.5) is doing strange things with PDFs rotated in Acrobat Pro V8.1.2. A PDF rotated in Acrobat to a Landscape will open as a Portrait. Leave the PDF as a Portrait and it will open as a Portrait. Now rotate the same file using Preview to a Landscape and Postershop will open it as a Landscape.
Its like something in the PDF is not being changed to say its rotated, so both Photoshop and postershop get it wrong. Now the problems in Postershop may not be related, but even Photoshop is seeing this and ripping it wrong.
Is there any thing I could try?
I have got the rest of the team using Preview atm to rotate files for now.
Thank you.

My biggest issue GKaiseril is that this is something developed at a higher level than my department. You can find the Fillable PDF and Excel conversion spreadsheet at : www.dodprocurementtoolbox.com. I am not apart of the development team, just apart of a property team trying to get our attachment right. This has been an ongoing issue we've tried to resolve for a while now. The solution I posted above makes the file work, but I don't know if its a "solution" or a temp fix. If I can figure out what the actual issue is, I can suggest an actual fix to the machine or process.

When saving from the print menu to PDF to iBooks, it saves it as unnamed document.

When saving from the print menu to PDF to iBooks, it saves it as unnamed document.
Would like to be able to give it a name before saving it, or at least have a rename function in iBooks.
Can use Preview and rename it in Downloads and then move it to iBooks. Very cumbersome.
Thanks.

Is there a way to add coverart to pdfs in ibooks ?

My pdf's i put in to Ibooks show as blank. is there a way to add coverart to pdfs in ibooks?

The image displayed for a PDF is the first page of the document. If you can edit the PDF and can insert a new title page then yes, it is possible, but it's not just a case of pasting ajpg into a property dialog as it would be with an mp3 track.

PDF in iBooks, search question

Hi there, I have a client who uses iBooks to view 2 pdfs on her iPad. The pdfs were created in InDesign, 2 different designers (not me). The issue she encountered is with search results in iBooks.
In the first book, when I search for a particular number, the search results show 1) page number results and 2) text results containing the number. Shown below.
In the second book, when I search for a particular number, the search results 1) page number results and 2) text results containing the number PLUS a word next to it ("audrey-small"). Shown below.
Has anyone else experienced this with reading pdfs in iBooks? Is there any way the word "audrey-small" can be taken out so that search results for numbers only show the number? I'm posing this as an InDesign question because the 2 files were built by 2 separate designers and they may have different creation/design processes.
I don't know if iBooks is the best application for reading pdfs on the iPad, but that's what my client uses. Both books were created in Adobe InDesign. I'm posting this also to the Adobe Forums, but any insight here would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

In the first case, that might be the expected behavior. It seems in iBooks, pdfs don't have the option to go to a certain page # only as you have it with Adobe Reader. It just puts the number in the general search and brings all results containing that number. Regarding the second case, I have no idea why is showing audrey-small.
