The PDF files I synced to my iPad isn't showing in iBooks. Why?

I added the files to the library, then clicked the sync iPad menu option. It acted like it worked but the PDFs aren't showing in IBooks. Now the sync iPad isn't available anymore so I can't try it again. Please help!

On the bookshelf in the iBooks app you've tried tapping the Collections button the top left and selecting PDFs ?

HT4059 How do I sync the .pdf files in my ibook on iTunes 11 to my ipad mini with ios6?

The new iTunes 11 is confusing me. I also have a new ipad mini with ios6 on it. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to transfer the .pdf files in my iTunes library on my PC to the ipad mini. When it syncs, ibooks does not transfer the files.

Thanks for letting those who come here for help know that my navigation instructions are wrong on a PC with iTunes 11. The issue though is computer independent and relates to iTunes 11. When the device and iTunes quit syncing back and forth, there is potential for data loss. When trying to manually update, the iTunes library wants to replace the contents of the device with the library. That is not a problem if the content is complete. I had a situation where multiple pdf documents were added to iBooks from sources other than iTunes and were failing to sync back to iTunes. I had a choice, let iTunes replace the contents of my device and lose my pdf's or figure out a way to get my documents off the device and add them back. I chose the later, emailing them from iBooks to my computer. I then synced my iTunes library to the device replacing its contents. I added back my pdf's by dropping them into iTunes and synced. I have not experienced the problem since. My device and iTunes are now syncing with each other properly, including wirelessly.

PDF files not sync in Ipad

After sync Ipad with Itunes Podcasts on my Macbook, pdf files downloaded with Podcasts are not showing up in Ipad. Please advice how can I also sync pdf files in Ipad and read them as as well.
Thanks,

Connect your iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Select your device in the left side of iTunes. Click on books at the top right side of the iTunes window. Make sure that Sync Books has a check mark in it. Select all of the PDFs, books, etc. that you want to sync to your iPad by putting a check mark in those boxes. Click apply in the lower right corner of the iTunes window, then click sync. This will put the PDF files on the iPad.
You can download iBooks in the app store for free and you can read PDF files with it.

How can I move a pdf file from my pc to my ipad without overwriting all the pdf files in my ipad?

How can I move a single pdf file from my pc to my ipad without overwriting all the pdf files already in my ipad?

Email PDF to iPad.

PDF Files with bookmarks open in iPad iBooks without the bookmarks.

PDF Files created with Adobe Acrobat or other PDF file creating software open in iPad iBooks with the Bookmarks. How do you access those.

since iBooks doesn't have an "Open In" button or feature, how do I access PDF's in iBooks with Adobe Reader?

IPAD3/IPAD2 :PDF files/ attachments sent in an email displayed inline ( embedded within the main email) in the message text on both my Ipad2 and Ipad three, however the same email displayed the PDF File icons/ attachment on both my Iphone and a friend's

IPAD3/IPAD2 :PDF files/ attachments sent in an email displayed inline ( embedded within the main email) in the message text on both my Ipad2 and Ipad three, however the same email displayed the PDF File icons/ attachment on both my Iphone and a friend’s PC. How do i get both my IPAD devices to display the PDF icons/attachments? Bearing in mind if i open the same email over the internet the PDF Icons/attachments display OK!
Has anyone come across this? Your advice/help would be most appreciated

This happens to me all the time.
If is a one page PDF it seems as though it comes over already open and inline in the body of the email. Multiple page PDF files show as the PDF icon.
I can't find any official documentation of this - other than based on my own experience with PDF attachments in my various email accounts.

Why are pdf files opened automatically in iPad email. I need to save the pdf file itself.

Why are pdf files opened automatically in iPad email? I need to save the pdf file itself, so I can re-read them for later. ANy fix. Some pdf files I send are saved as pdf files unopened.

I have no idea how an iPad works.

Can I sync PDF files between my iPhone and iPad?

Can I sync PDF files between my iPhone and iPad?

Yes, and we will have integration with our Mobile Readers as well. We've already submitted to Apple for review, and will be live once they complete their review and approval.
With this, we'll allow you to share files pretty easily between Desktop, Tablet and Phone across all OSes...and when you make changes, we'll automatically bring them to and from your phone/tablet! Pretty cool.

.pdf files in iBooks on my iPad don't show in iBooks on my iMac. Why?

when i installed iBooks on my iMac, only my purchased books show in the library. PDF files I stored in iBooks on my iPad are not showing. Any ideas how I sync the pdf files? They use a common Apple ID and I use iCloud for the iPad backup.

Did you try using the transfer purchase feature of iTunes? I know that these may not be purchased PDF files, and it is only supposed to work with iTunes purchases, but I have done this myself with PDF files in iBooks.
iTunes Store: Transfer purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
This feature works only for audio, video, and apps that you purchased from the iTunes Store. Any items that you imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources won't copy from your device to the iTunes library. However, copies of all PDFs and books from your device's iBooks app will transfer to the computer, regardless of whether they were purchased from the iBooks Store.

Why doesn't my pdf files that are on my iPad show up on my iMac or mac book pro

Why doesn't my pdf files that are on my ipad show up on my imac or macbook?

Have you copied them from your iPad ? If you are using the 'sync collections' setting then that doesn't copy items between devices/computers, all it does is if you move a book/PDF into a collection on one device/computer then if that book/PDF is also on your other device(s)/computer(s) then it will be moved into the same collection on them.
If you connect the iPad to the computer that you sync it to and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases then it should copy them over to your Mac's iTunes (that should copy PDFs and epubs that are in the iBooks app, not just actual ibooks) - in the iBooks app on your Mac you might then need to do File > Move Books From iTunes to move them over to it.

How do I move folders with subfolders (containing pdf files) from my pc to ipad 3 to use in adobe reader

How do I move folders with subfolders (containing pdf files) from my pc to ipad 3 to use in adobe reader

You need to connect the ipad to the computer and open itunes.
Open the ipad and go into settings, icloud. Tap on "Documents and Data" and turn that on to sync to icloud.
Now go back into itunes and it should pick up your ipad already and tap on the ipad connection. There will pop up some taps on the center screen for sync options. Go thru each one (summary, info, apps, music, tv shows, podcasts, itunesU, books and photos).....you want to click on "Books".
To the left click the arrow next to the ipad under Devices.
The arrow will point down and open the sub menu, click on the "Books" sub menu here. You will see in the center window current books, PDF currently on the ipad.
Next go to the top and click on "File" (file, edit, view, controls, store, advanced, help) and click on "add folder to library"...... it will bring up your computer file system in a seperate window. File the folder your looking for and add it. This should get the folder set up to sync onto ipad thru itunes.
For additional ease in doing things on the middle window of itunes click back on summary, scroll a bit and you will see "Backup", click on "Backup to icloud". Then under "Options", check "Sync with this ipad over WiFi".
This will allow you to wirelessly sync your itunes and your ipad without having the ipad connected to the computer with a cable. You just have to be on the same wireless network.
If in itunes you add something like a pdf or photo, when your on your ipad open the Ibooks or Iphoto app and it wull update the file system to match your itunes account. The sync with with anything you do in itunes and it works the other way around also. If you save files, photos, books on the ipad, using the ipad (app store purchases, games, books)....the ipad will update to itunes next time your on the same network.
FYI - both the ipad and the computer have to be on.
Itunes updates (changes you make thru itunes), does not need itunes to be open for update content to update to the ipad. This is because it updates to the cloud.
Updates from the ipad to itunes will need itunes open on the computer. So it can sync with the cloud info.

You should be able to just place them in your Books library in iTunes and check to ensure that your Book library is configured to sync to your iPod when you sync your iPod to iTunes.

Why can't I access the PDF files stored in my iBooks without connecting it to internet ?

Hi,
I have nearly 2000 PDF file documents which I have synchronized to iBooks from my DELL laptop.
All the PDF files are individually named as to make it easy for myself to search.
I took it outside in my show where i tried to access it, what I am seeing here is there are no documents appearing on my iBooks. I then connected it to my Mobile phone Internet where I could now see all the 2000 PDF files.
My question here is , if all these files are on the hard drive of my iPad, why do I have to always connect it to the internet to access. This is very difficult as some places where I travel are having very low network coverage. Please help me to sort this issue. Many thanks, Amit

Preflight keeps saying "Unable to save the PDF File after post processing"

I'm at a loss how to overcome this. Spent almost a whole day, together with another person, trying to fix it with no success!
I use Adobe pro CC on a PC
I usually receive pdf files from this one client who edits and formats a book in Mac Pages. Up until a few days ago I had no problems converting the client's pdfs into pdf/x3, but the last three versions of the latest file have stumped me.
Just to test, I first just tried to convert the file (33MB), unchanged, to pdf/x3 using the save as other option - message reads "the document has been saved, however, it could not be converted according to the selected standard profile: convert to PDF/X. Please use preflight with the profile "Convert to PDF/X" in order to identify those properties of the document which prevent it from being compliant to this profile"
if I then choose under Profiles - convert to PDF/X3 - it says no problems found, and appears to have saved the file. If I try to save again as a pdf/x3, just to make sure, it then tells me it's not pdf/x3 compliant
OK - so then I go back to preflight - and choose the standards function - then pdf/x3, then continue with the default colour profile. About halfway through the conversion, at the point of saving the file, I get the message "unable to save the pdf file after post processing"
So far I've had no luck figuring out what this is.
I then choose the option of "verify compliance of ppdf/x3" - message reads "pdf/x3 version key (GTS_PDFXVersion) missing", and "Trapped key not true or false"
Help!! How can I be sure the file converted / or not?

Yes I was/am aware of Preflight's inability to play nicely over cloud technologies in certain cases, especially wrt Standards technologies, this will be partially addressed in an upcoming version of Preflight without saying too much. But the same thing could theoretically have happened if the file was also located on another local network client or server. Leaving aside the argument that this may violate the Acrobat User Agreement - since purchasing the software, the user agrees to employ its functionality on a single host system and precludes host-client-based scenarios - this simply is not a supported use, meaning the user may not have expectations that it will work at all, if the applications requirements are not observed. There do exist server-solutions for Preflight files within networks, but Acrobat and by extension Acrobat Preflight is not one of those solutions, and (still) belongs in the single host-based desktop environment.
However most (99.9%) functions within Acrobat <-> acrobat.com file exchange are supported, file syncing across multiple devices will soon be supported, but Standards compliance is still admittedly a problem at this point. Some testing has been done using 3rd party cloud technologies starting with enterprise-based solutions, such as Office 365, and this will continue to ramp up to include other 3rd party products.
As for the second point, Preflight will usually change the PDF version to be complaint, are you saying that it was unable to do so in this case? It seems that this error should have popped up during the normal Preflight conversion attempt. Personally I think solving a workflow problem using the print path is a little bit of a heavy-handed approach, but if helped and the results are acceptable, then that is good. Since that path is non-existent on a Mac, as one needs to Save as Adobe PDF from the Print dialog's PDF drop-down menu, I am assuming your workflow involved file creation on a Mac, then further processing on Windows using the PDF printer. I am wondering if a simple resave/Save As... to PDF with overwrite on a Mac, or Preflighting the file using a PDF version compatibility profile before the PDF/X conversion would have helped. Since there are such a multitude of methods that a PDF can be created, there are also many ways within Acrobat that a user can shape the file to be compatible with the expected workflow, ie, 'many ways to skin a cat', without being morbid.
