thank you, was useful tip.
NP. Thanks for stopping by.
I really like the idea of pulling a library full of PDFs. I am assuming that when sync’d through iCloud I could view them on my across my Apple devices. Very helpful.
how do you wirelessly sync pdf’s saved in ibooks on iPad back to macbook and iPhone? nothing has worked so far…i’ve read i need to convert pdf’s to epub files….but that is cumbersome and not efficient. this is driving me crazy…please help.
you can email each pdf to yourself individually if you open them in ibooks. Bit long winded but simple enough.
Thanks a lot .your detail explanation, step by step proved effective even for me. I am very weak in iTunes. Thanks
At step 6 I was not getting a books tab. So ended up transfering the pdf to my IPAD by right clicking the pdf then adding it to my ipad by selecting it from the playlist list.
I am using Itunes Version 11.02
here is a screen shot of the options I get for my IPAD, note no books option
