Transferring a pdf file from my Mac to my iPad
I ws told that there is A WAY OF TRANSFERRING A PDF DOCUMENT FROM MY MAC TO MY IPAD. DFoes anyone know how to do this?
I still make use of iTunes/iBooks too.
iTunes is especially important if I'm adding lots of pdfs (or just larger pdf files), that'd take too long to upload/download.
But, its always nice to have another means of entry that isn't confined to iTunes, or starting web servers from inside apps, etc etc.
Plus, it's not just for pdfs... AND you can get at your files from literally anywhere (Mac's, PC's, iDevices, Android, Dropbox website, etc.) It really is a fantastic service.
BTW, choosing "Open in iBooks" will move the pdf into the "PDFs" Collection in iBooks. That might help you find your previous errant pdfs.

How can I transmit PDF files from my Mac to my iPad, How can I transmit PDF files from my Mac to my iPad
Yes you can definitely do this. You'll need an app on the iPad that handles PDF viewing and editing. There are many around - two of the best I've seen are GoodReader and PDF Expert.
In iTunes when you iPad is connected to your PC, go to the Apps tab and scroll down and you'll see the File Sharing section. You can drag files to there to share them to your iPad.
You could also look at online file sync services like PDF to ePub Maker if you prefer not to have to connect your iPad to a PC -

How transfer file from garageband mac to garageband iPad?
how transfer file from garageband mac to garageband iPad?
In answer to the question:
how transfer file from garageband mac to garageband iPad?
Transfering a file from Garageband on the Mac to Garageband in the iPad is not just a case of putting it in iTunes as a number of people seem to state. The XML package which is the Garageband Song File has to be changed before a Garageband Mac file will be downloadable to the iPad. This can be done manually but is time consuming and tedious. After doing it manually a few times and making mistakes, I have created an Applescript Application to do this called:
Garageband Mac to iPad Oneshot Converter
I have made a video of the converter in use which I have post on my Youtube ' fixed1t ' pages. This Application and the video solves the question above and shows the song file on the mac being moved and running on the iPad.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ruT-dUhh2c
There is a link on the Description of the fixed1t youtube video to enable viewers to download a trial version. The link will also allow viewers to purchase a copy once you have tried i, but you are under no obligation to purchase and the trial is completely free. I am selling it for £5 UK and I will receive over £4 of this should you decide to purchase using the PayPal link.
Please try it out and give me feedback, even if you don't wish to buy it.
Thanks Malcolm (aka fixed1t)

I want to save large pdf files from my computer to my iPad so I can view them in Adobe Reader. I do not want to view them in iBooks or Quickoffice. Since I cannot email these large files, how can I get them on my iPad? Thanks for your help.
I think that Adobe reader supports file sharing.
Connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Select the iPad on the left side under "devices". Click on the Apps Tab in the window on the right. Scroll down to the File Sharing Apps list under the main apps list. Click on Adobe Reader. Drag the documents into the file sharing window on the right or select them using the "add" button.
Launch the Adobe reader app and the files should be in there. -

How do I transfer a pdf file from a mac to Z1?
I'd like to transfer some pdf files from my macbook to my Z1 to read while commuting, but Bridge only seems to allow me to click music, videos and picture files. When I get to my pdf folder, the files are unclickable so I can't synch them. Is there any way around this?
A simpler way download dropbox or box or upload the pdfs on Google Drive and then download them on your phone, it will be a lot easier

Problem importing PDF file from Word to Pages on IPad 2
I am trying to import a PDF file from Word 2007 to Pages on my iPad 2 using the file sharing function in iTunes.
I am able to import it, however when Pages saves it, I get the following message:
"Pages doesn't support some od the original document.
Objects in headers, footers, shapes, text boxes and table cells were removed.
Merged table cells were unmerged.
Objects were removed from table cells."
The document is a PDF form which needs to be filled in. The document was downloaded from a website and saved as a Word document where I have been able to enter in information and print it.
I would like to be able to fill in the form and print it from Pages as there are other documents that accompany this PDF file. (these are plain text Word documents which I have succesfully imported and can edit and print.)
Is there any way for me to achieve this?
Cheers,
JulesI don't think Pages can do this - you'll need a dedicated iPad PDF program that can fill in and edit PDF files. And even then, reports are that different readers work or dont' work with different PDF's... I use Goodreader, which can do some PDF filling in, but you might want to check the app store for others.

Can I open an encrypted pdf file from Dropbox with my iPhone, iPad, or iPad Mini?
Mac OS 10.9.3 encrypts a pdf file using Acrobat XI, then sends it to Dropbox. Mobile device retrieves encrypted file from Dropbox. Then can mobile device user open (unencrypt) the pdf file?
George, you wrote something that encouraged me to try to encrypt a PDF document again using the security icon on the menu bar of my old Acrobat 8 Professional. It worked this time (it wouldn't encrypt on my first try, and I wrongly assumed that it wasn't compatible with Maverick OS). I dropped document into Dropbox, retrieved it with mobile devices; and when I tapped on the document, it simply asked for the password and opened perfectly. When moving to a different screen, then back to the secured PDF file, one must re-enter the password again (which is good).
As far as what PDF viewer -- I don't know. I have the Acrobat Reader APP on my devices, is that the reader the document is using?? I've never figured out which APPs are running at any particular time on these devices.
Many, many thanks for your reply!! -
How can I transfer PDF files from my Apple to my iPad?
I can transfer "Word" documents from my Apple to my iPad by adding, within iTunes, the required files to the App. Pages and then sync.
I can also add PDF files to my Pages App in iTunes using the same method, BUT I can't open them in Pages - only the Word documents open.
Do I need a different to read PDF files in iPad or am I just doing it wrongly?
Help - pleaseI don't have the Pages app (but I think that it may only supports exporting as PDF, not reading them), but if you have the iBooks app then you can sync them to that via iTunes : add the PDFs to your computer's iTunes (File > Add File To Library) and they should then appear in the Books part of your Library, and you can then sync them to the iBooks app via the Books tab that appears on the right-hand side of iTunes when you've selected the iPad 'device' on the left-hand side.
There are also other free PDF apps e.g. Adobe Reader -
How do I transfer my hundreds of pdf files in various folders in iBooks on my mini iPad to the unpopulated folders in iBooks on my new iMac computer?
I don't know of an efficient way to copy all the PDFs in one go, although it might be possible using a thrid party tool. If your iPad isn't associated with your current library however see the user tip Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device

I have books and files in my computer I want to relocate it to my iPad to read it, what should I do? Step by step please .
My PC is not Mac.You first need one or more apps on your iPad that support the types of file that you want to copy over to it, the iPad doesn't have a file system link a 'normal' computer, everything has to be stored within an app.
For PDFs there are 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 word and excel documents). For documents the options include Apple's Pages app for Word documents, Numbers for Excel spreadsheets and Keynote for Powerpoint. And from third-parties apps such as Documents To Go ('premium' version) and QuickOffice Pro HD. As to how you then get the file to your chosen app will depend upon what the app supports - different apps will have different ways of copying their content to/from a computer e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via your wifi network, email, dropbox etc.
For iBooks, which supports PDFs, you should be able to add the PDFs to your iTunes library via File > Add To Library, and they should go into the Books section of your library. You can then sync them to iBooks by connecting your iPad to your computer and selecting it on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you have iTunes on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar via control-S), and on the right-hand side use the Books tab to select and sync them to the iBooks app. -
I have a .mov file. (Quicktime video - edited in Quicktime Pro) I transferred it to another computer, via it's public folder, so it would be on the computer where my itunes library is. No problem. I transferred it to my iPad through iTunes. The video transferred and plays. Soundtrack that I added is also intact. Problem is, I have added text to the video and for some reason the text does not show up on the ipad (but does on my computer). Any suggestions?
