Yesterday Apple released the iBooks update that allows you to store PDFs like books. I use PDFs in the form of manuals and technical books. However, it\u2019s a standard so there is quite a bit of material in this format.<\/p>\n
After updating, I didn\u2019t see the PDF link in the upper left. This is by design. You won\u2019t see it until you import a PDF.<\/p>\n
To import a PDF into iBooks, send it to yourself in an email as an attachment. Open the email on your iPad and then the attachment. You\u2019ll then have the option of adding it to iBooks.<\/p>\n
However I had some issues. I can\u2019t open a PDF that\u2019s large \u2013 such as 26Mb. And if you have a large PDF mixed with small ones in the same email, it won\u2019t open any. I had to resend the small ones in a separate email. <\/p>\n
So, I still prefer FastPDF app. It doesn\u2019t have size restrictions and you can upload PDFs via a built in web server. Very cool! This emailing of PDFs was so old school.<\/p>\n
Let me know how you like iBooks and if you switched to FastPDF. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
