Syncing PDF files from PC to iPad through iTunes

I have dowloaded the Acrobat Reader App to an IPad an am trying to sync it with PDF files in my PC through iTunes.  I can see the PDF file already in the iPad and when I "add" selecting the appropriate folder in the PC, I see a list of PDF files available in the PC for syncing.  But that's as far as it goes.  How do I proceed from there to get them onto the IPad?  Thanks for any help

After you open the Apps tab in iTunes, select Adobe Reader from the list of apps on the bottom list. On the right, you will be allowed to "add" files. Just drag and drop files onto that box and then hit sync. The next time you fire up Adobe Reader on your iPad, the files would be there for you.

  • How do I transfer PDF files from PC to IPAD using Itunes 12.1.2.  Previous versions let me drag file in Itunes to Ipad and files appeared under Ibook but can't get it to work in latest 12.1.2 version.

    How do I transfer PDF files from PC (Windows 7) to IPAD using Itunes 12.1.2.  I would like to do files manually rather then auto synch.  Previous versions let me drag file in Itunes to Ipad and files appeared under Ibook and then I could move them to an appropriate collection title.  The interface appears to have changed in the latest ITunes version and I am not sure what the proper procedure is.

    King_Penguin - Thanks it worked perfectly.  I had my pdf files copied into ITunes on my PC but when I clicked on a pdf file to copy it I thought the sidebar would appear with my IPAD name and then I would drag it over.  I didn't realize that I needed to click-and start dragging it towards the left-hand side for the sidebar to appear.  It worked like a charm - THANKYOU!!!

  • HT4059 Can I sync PDF files from my iPhone 4 to my new iPad wirelessly without iTunes?

    Can I sync PDF files from my iPhone 4 to my new iPad wirelessly without iTunes

    Yes, you can. Just add files to iTunes library (FILE > ADD FILES TO LIBRARY....) and they will appear under Books library.
    Connect you device, select the Books tab, and make sure those books or pdf you want them over are being checked, then click the SYNC button on the lower right window.

  • 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.

  • How do I sync pdf files from my desktop of my iMac to good reader in my iPad 2?

    I'm trying to move pdf files from my desktop to my iPad 2 onto the Goodreader App.  How do I get this done.  I thought I would go through itunes, however, I'm not able to drag and drop these there.

    You can either select GoodReader at the bottom of the iPad's apps tab when connected to you computer's iTunes - it should appear as one apps that support file sharing (there is info on file sharing in the manual which can be downloaded from here http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad). Or the app itself supports wifi transfer via you wifi network - just touch the wifi symbol (next to the camera) at the bottom of the app on your iPad, and you should be given an address to use on your computer's browser so as to transfer files to/from the app.

  • How to copy pdf files from computer to ipad

    how to copy pdf files from computer to ipad

    You can PDFs to the iPad, but first you need one or more apps on the iPad that supports PDFs - unlike a 'normal' computer the iPad doesn't have a file system, and everything on it has to be associated with an app.
    Options include free apps such as Apple's iBooks app and also Adobe Reader - and paid-for apps such as GoodReader (which also supports read-only of other documents types).
    For iBooks you can first add the PDFs to your computer's iTunes via File > Add To Library, and you can then sync them by selecting the iPad on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (on iTunes 11 you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC) and using the Books tab on the right-hand side to select and sync them.
    For Adobe Reader adnd GoodReader you can use the file sharing on the Apps tab on the right-hand side to copy them over : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4094

  • HT204365 How to email pdf files from iBook in iPad?

    Why I can only see "print" but no "email" button when i open my pdf files in iBooks? As far as i know i should be able to email my pdf files from ibooks right?

    Yes you should be able to email a PDF from iBooks. When you tap the arrow in the upper left the option should appear.
    Maybe some basic troubleshooting steps will help.
    Quit the iBooks app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your 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 of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. 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.
    Or .... Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    You may want to consider deleting the app and reinstalling. Tap and hold down on the app icon until it jiggles, then tap the X on the icon. Tap the home button to stop the apps from jiggling. Download iBooks again.

  • When I sync PDF file "with links" to iPad i lose my images.

    When I sync a Adobe File (which includes links) to Good Reader or any other PDF Reader from my MacBook Pro to iPad, I lose my images.  Tried to save down to Adobe 6 and 7 but still now success.  Someone posted earlier to go to Preview and save as JPEG since iPad has issues with JPEG2000, however then I lose my links. Does anyone have a solution?  My Adobe file is already 13MB and I would like to keep the size down as much as possible.

    You likely need support from Adobe. The Apple User Guides are made with Adobe InDesign and they work fine with hyperlinks and illustrations in iBooks and GoodReader.

  • Finding pdf files from imac to iPad 2

    I have some PDF files (2) that I synced to my iPad 2 but I can't find them anywhere on my iPad.  First, I opened iTunes, then went to the Apps, selected Pages, then Add , then Synced... They appear to be then synced to my iPad. Also, I included on Pages document in the sync. 
    In doing a search on my iPad, it does not find the file. I open my Pages app on my iPad, and I have no documents. So where might it be?? Not in iBooks either.
    Thanks.

    It's probably not as "simple" as using DropBox, but it's there. When in the Apps section of iTunes, just scroll down to the bottom where there is a listing of installed apps that can use the iTunes data exchange. Documents available on the computer can be synced TO the device while those available on the device can be syned TO the computer.

  • Is it possible to transfer files from pages on iPad to iTunes on my PC wirelessly?

    I am just wondering if there's an easy to transfer my files from pages to my iTunes  on my pc without having to connect the two. Would just save a lot of time and make it easier to get about my work. Thanks.

    If you set up icloud on all devices/computers then pages, numbers, keynote and note pad will sync to all. You edit on ipad and changes will show up on same document on computer.

  • How do I transfer a file from macbook to ipad without itunes?

    Hi, I purchased a children's learning program online. I am now trying to transfer that program file from my macbook onto my kids ipad's. How do I do this without using itunes? I didn't aquire it from itunes but from the makers own website. We homeschool our kids and it would be so much easier for them to each have it on their own ipads. Thank you anamanners

    The only place you can get programs for the iPad is from the iTunes Store. An application downloaded from a developer's web site will not work, and probably is for some other platform such as your Mac, as Kappy suggested. You'll need to ask the developer if they make a version for the iPad and if so will need to get it from the iTunes Store.
    Regards.

  • How to delete a file from my hard drive through iTunes?

    I want to delete a file through my iTunes. Whenever I do, it just gives me a dialog window telling me that it will delete the file from the library and my iPod. It does NOT delete it from my hard drive. I do NOT want to let iTunes manage my music.
    How can I delete files? It seems crazy that I wouldn't be able to.

    hmm. for some strange reason after doing that it just simply warns me that in deleting the song(s) it will ruin my playlists/mess up songs currently on my ipod.
    im just trying to delete all the songs that are under a minute from various albums because they take a lot of room, yet are pretty useless. but they are strung out over multiple files and i simply would love to be able to delete them all from the library where they are arranged. do you know of any other techniques to fix it?

  • Why can't I print PDF files from my iPad or smart phone. Just started this recently.

    Not able to print PDF files from either my iPad or smart phone

    You probably don't have a printer which supports AirPrint:
    What Printers Are AirPrint Compatible? - iPhone / iPod - About.com
    If your printer is not supported, you can buy a utility like PrinterPro from Readdle on the App Store. That's what I've used to print.
