Sync Highlight in PDF file between Mac and iPad

I need to read hundreds of PDF articles/books(downloaded from non-apple sources) on Mac(OS X 10.9.5) and iPad(iOS 7.2). Problem is that marking/highlight done in PDF file in iPad using Adobe reader/Foxit/TinyPDF or any other PDF reader can not be synced to Mac. iBook in iPad has no function of highlight/underline for third party PDF files. I can open file from Google drive or Dropbox in to Adobe reader or any third party PDF reader but once I do highlight or marking in it, that file can not be saved back to dropbox/google drive, hence I can not view that file with highlight/marking in my mac. As per my knowledge iCloud drive in iOS 8 and OS X 10.10 also have same limitation.
Tried other apps like Mendeley(size limit of 50 mb), Evernote (insert PDF file in evernote - but built in PDF reader is useless for large files with >1000 pages). Still could not find solution . Can you please help me out?

Have you looked at Goodreader?

How do I sync a PDF file between iPhone and iPad in iBooks?

How do I sync a PDF file between iPhone and iPad in iBooks?

If the PDF supports it then you can try opening the PDF in iBooks on your phone and use the 'share' icon (the square with the upward pointing arrow) to email it to yourself (some PDFs a protected and don't support emailing) and use 'open in' in the Mail app on your iPad to copy it to its Mail app.
Or you can connect the phone to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy it over to your iTunes (that should copy PDFs and/or epubs that are in the iBooks app, not just ibooks) and if using a Mac with Mavericks or Yosemite on it then do File > Move Books From iTunes in its iBooks app, and you can then sync it to your iPad.

Share files between Mac and Windows in same iMac with boot camp

Hello,
I am new in using Mac and recently I buy a IMac 24" model.
I used to use PC a long time with a lot of old document.
I want to install Windows XP with boot camp.
But I also want to share my documents, music, video files between Mac and Windows in same iMac.
How can I do this?
Thanks in advance,
Eric

Hi Eric and welcome to Discussions and the Apple world.
Mac OSX can read and write from Windows partitions (like the BootCamp Windows partition you are about to create) when using FAT32 as file system for Windows.
However with FAT32 you are limited to a partition size of 32GB.
Mac OSX can also read from Windows partitions that uses the NTFS file system, but it can not write to them unless you use a third-party helper like either Paragons NTFS for Mac http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/ or NTFS-3G http://www.ntfs-3g.org/
Windows can not even see or use a Mac OSX partition without additional help by MacDrive http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive/

Sharing linked files between mac and pc

Dear Community and AI Support,
My team is trying to share AI files between Macs and PCs. That works fine until we have Linked assets. Once we have linked assets, AI either forgets to, or is unable to, let us relink more than one of the linked files. We can't edit the links or even delete them. The linked files are just ignored, leaving the file half empty.
We've tried hacking the paths directly in the .AI file, hoping to eventually write a perl script to help us switch back and forth. but no luck. We assume there is a checksum or crc code or hash, etc..., as AI won't even try to open the file after that.
But to clarify the issue. here is an example of the Mac and PC links we need to switch between using an excerpt from the AI file. These are valid, working directories on both platforms.

ooohhhhh very interesting. I did a find and replace on all the strings, but no dice. I didn't think to look at those types of data. But now that you have mentioned it, perhaps I'll do a diff on the same file saved on both platforms to see what has been changed. Should have already thought of it, but your note has made me check my assumptions.

Transfer pdf file from mac to ipad

How to transfer pdf file from mac to ipad without using the internet and with the help of the cable?

You say without using the internet, then the only way left is to use a USB connection to itunes on your computer.
If you have a pdf reader app on the ipad (you must if you hope to read pdf files on the ipad), then go into the Apps tab in iTunes (for your device) and find the pdf reader app in the list. If there, then drag a pdf file from the mac to the panel in iTunes and then sync. Once on the ipad, you should be able to open the pdf reader app and access the pdf file.

FaceTime between Mac and iPad with one iCloud account?

I moved my MobileMe account to iCloud and want to set up my Mac so I can call my new iPad with FaceTime. In the iCloud system preferences I have "Mail and Notes" unchecked but the sole email account in Mail preferences is pointed to the iCloud mail server and I am receiving Mail. The account appears in Mail and seems to be functioing normally. If I check the "Mail and Notes" option in the system preferences a second iCloud Mail account appears in Mail with identical contents to the one that is there with this option unchecked. I'd rather not have this duplicate set of mailboxes in Mail so I'm leaving the option unchecked (is this OK?). I added my AOL address as a second email address to my Apple ID so I can use my AIM account with FaceTime and have set FaceTime to receive calls to my AIM address and I have added a contact with my iCloud email address.
On my iPad, I have set up FaceTime to receive calls to my iCloud email address and added a contact with my AIM address. This set up works when calling my Mac from my iPad but does not work the other way. How do I get it to work in both directions?
Thanks for any insights.

In partial answer to my own question, it seems that Mail and Notes option in iCloud system prefs on the Mac should be checked. The duplicate account that is then created in Mail (which points to the original account so it's not really a duplicate, as CS1sound pointed out to me) can be disabled in the Mail program prefs. This eliminates the dual mailbox sets in Mail.
Regarding the FaceTime calling between my Mac and iPad, that seems to have been resolved as well. The FaceTime iCloud account required more characters than the password for the old MobileMe account. This was unknown to me until I tried to view the iCloud account from within FaceTime preferences, when I got a message saying I needed a longer password. When I entered the new password it updated the FaceTime password and also updated my iCloud password (the password associated with my Apple ID). So now everything seems to be working nominally.
For others experiencing problems with FaceTime calling between Mac and iPad I suggest making sure your Apple ID password is at least 8 chars long, has letters (at least one cap) and at least one numeral. (This is the spec my FaceTime error message provided). Then attach an AIM address to your Apple ID as a "rescue" email address. Apple ID will send an email with a verification link to this address which must be clicked and this account will then be associated with your iCloud account (along with your original iCloud email address). Next, set the iPad up to use the iCloud email for Mail and FaceTime and create a FaceTime contact with (which receives calls to) the AIM address, for calling the Mac. Then set the Mac up to use the iCloud email address for Mail and set FaceTime up with the iCloud email, but with a "receives calls at" address pointing to the AIM account, then create a contact with the iCloud address, for calling the iPad.
Posted this because I saw others have had the same problem. Sorry for the verbosity but this is just a blow by blow recounting of what I did. I hope some of the board gods and moderators will vet this for mistakes. I don't want to mislead any fellow pilgrims, but it worked for me .

Multiple display between Mac and Ipad

I have an IPAD with latest IOS system and a Mac with Maverick.
Would multi display works between Mac and Ipad?
If so, where can I found manual or instruction to make it works?
Thanks.

You'd have to use something like DisplayPad to do that. I have it set up on my system and its working great under Mavericks (it wasn't supported under Mountain Lion on my system).
Good luck.

How to synchronise the fonts between mac and ipad in the keynote app?

I use Keynote on both Mac and iPad machines. Unfortunately, the font set in iPad is quite different than in Macbook and because of that, every presentation must be re-writen while changing the device. This is a bit annoyent and I cannot find the solution.

Only use fonts on your Mac that you know are available on the iPad.

HT5826 how to sync pdf file between iOS and mac

Which is the reason?
Please let me know
Thanks
Luca

I suspect that you haven't synced your iPad with your Mac. iBooks does not "push" new additions to its library automatically, like iCloud does; you must sync your iPad, either with a USB cable, or over WiFi, to have the PDFs sync. Make sure the PDFs are selected in iTunes too.

Looking for application to sync the files between mac and pc

I have a mac and a pc, I would like to backup their file onto an external harddisk.
Will any application work for both PC and MAC?
or I will need two different application installed on my 2 computer?

Mac apps are Carbon Copy Cloner, SuperDuper!, Silverkeeper, etc. On the PC side is ghost. However, note that the formatting xchemes for each type are different and you just might find that you'll need two ext HDs.

Sharing .itl file between Mac and Windows

How do I share an .itl file located on a NAS between a Windows machine and a Mac? I can do it with two Windows machines, but one I add a Mac, every time I switch platforms the library rebuilds. Onle one machine is accessing the itl file at a time, all the content is on the NAS, and I have 11.0.2.25 on the Mac and 11.0.2.26 on the Windows machine (can't get 11.0.2.25 on the Windows machine.

Right now, I have Verizon DSL that uses a Westell router. It has 4 ethernet ports on the back in addition to the DSL connections. I have a HP Pavilion with Windows XP in the basement, an iMac G3 in my room, and an intel iMac in our living room all connected to the router by ethernet cables. Each computer is able to access the other computer's files. On the intel iMac I have Microsoft Remote Desktop installed so that I can log into the HP in the basement and control it from the iMac. I haven't tried operating this network wirelessly, but I would imagine that it would be possible. One thing that you might want to check is the router's configuration. My router has settings that either allow or block wireless signals. To access my router's settings I type in 192.168.1.1 in Safari or Internet Explorer. Having all 3 computers on the internet at the same time does not slow the speed of the DSL very much.
I hope this information will help.

FLA files between Mac and PC versions of Flash CS3

Hello, I have a PC at work and a Mac at home and have found
that there are differences with font rendering in Flash CS3 on each
operating system.
I have a Flash application that looks beautiful. However, the
same .FLA file will position fonts a few pixels differently on my
mac.
For instance, I can make a flash file on my PC with perfectly
positioned fonts and after publishing, these fonts will look
perfect on both PC and Mac (from the SWF). If I then open the .FLA
on my Mac the fonts will be slightly off, and after publishing the
fonts will be off on both the PC and on Mac (from the SWF).
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Anyone got any
suggested workarounds or am I stuck?
This is the only major problem I've had going between the CS3
programs on my PC and my Mac (I mainly use Dreamweaver and Flash).
Thanks for any help!

I have this same problem. Most fonts are vertically
misaligned after loading a PC-created FLA on a Mac, and vice versa.
OpenType fonts seem to have a greater baseline shift than Truetype
fonts. Arial is one of the few fonts that doesn't shift (that I've
tried). The direction of the shift is upwards from PC->Mac, and
downwards from Mac->PC. Also, the linespacing changes. On the
Mac the linespacing is reduced, so multiple lines get bunched
together. To see this issue, create a new document on either
platform and place some text. Draw a line at the baseline of the
text. Save and reload this file on the other platform.
If you make the text dynamic and click on "show border around
text," the problem gets a little more interesting. On the PC, all
text with ascenders and descenders appear firmly within the border.
On the Mac, the border excludes the ascenders on OpenType fonts, so
the text butts up right to the border and ascenders poke out the
top. This is a bug in its own right. I work primarily with Folio
fonts, and have seen this problem on all of the OpenType fonts I've
tried. On TrueType fonts I tend to see the bounding box "almost"
right, but it still just clips the ascenders, and causes a small
baseline shift.
I think the baseline shift problem is because the Mac version
determines the bounding box incorrectly. When you place text using
the text cursor, it does it according to the font's baseline, which
is good. But I suspect Flash stores the position of the text in
terms of the upper left (or any other) corner of the bounding box.
Because the bounding box is calculated incorrectly (but
consistently) on a single platform, reloading the file within that
platform results in perfect positioning. Loading another platform's
FLA would cause a shift because the font's bounding box is
different -- it's the same position of the textfield, but the
displayed text relative to that store textfield position is higher
up on the Mac than on the PC.
This problem has really made me regret switching to the Mac.
have to do all my work inside Parallels now, on Flash CS3/Win,
because the artists and other Flash developers in the office are
all on PC. It is a total showstopper for me, and quite aggravating.
I simply can't check in my FLAs on the Mac side with my Mac
positioning, because it makes it impractical for anyone else to
edit my work.
