How to transfer PDF files to your IPad, iPhone & iPod Touch.

Hello again Apple Users Group Members.

Here’s a helpful web site with graphics to show you how.


My own instructions:

Step 1.

Open iTunes

Click file (upper right hand corner of iTunes)

Click “Add file to Library"

When menu opens, locate pdf file on your computer

Click on the pdf file

It will then be imported/saved to your BOOKS directory on iTunes

Step 2.

To sync pdf file to your iPad

Plug iPad into the usb on your computer

When iTunes opens wait until your iPad shows up in the left column.

When it stops loading, click on the iPad icon

Go to the Tool Bar on the top

Which reads: Summary-Info-Apps-Music-TVShows-Books-Photos

Click on the one that says BOOKS

Your PDF File should appear in the directory. Make sure the box next to it is check.

Then click  sync (lower right) and it will go to your iBooks Library on the iPad

If you don’t see on the main book shelves in iBooks on your ipad, tap on “collections tab" and then when the menu opens tap on PDFs and it will be there.

Moving your books or other files

If you want to move any book or pdf files to another location in iBooks

Tap on Collections tab, tap edit tab on the far right, tab the edition you want to move, a little check appears. You can move as many as you want. Just tap it so that the check appears.

Then tap on the  “move tab” (upper right hand corner)

When the white menu opens, tap the category you want to move

Your file to, and abracadabra it’s flies to its new location. Be sure to tap “Done” when it has completed.
