Step-by-Step Guide to Add PDF to Apple Books

1. Open iTunes - Begin by launching iTunes on your desktop.
2. Connect Your Device - Connect your iOS device to the computer via the USB cable. Ensure that your Apple Books app is open on your device.
3. Select Your Device - In iTunes, click on the device icon at the top of the screen.
4. Navigate to Files App - Scroll down to the “Files” section in the left panel of iTunes. If you don’t see this section, it might be hidden. Click on “Settings” under the device icon and make sure that you have enabled file transfer by checking the box next to “Enable file transfer.”
5. Locate Your PDF Files - Open your chosen PDF files and arrange them in order as per your preference in Finder/exploder by copying and moving them in relevant directories if needed. Generally, these could be stored in a documents folder on your computer.
6. Drag and Drop - Drag the selected PDF files into the iTunes file view (Files section). Alternatively, you can right-click on the file and choose “Add to Files” from the context menu.
7. Wait for Sync - Wait for the sync process to complete and check if the files have been transferred successfully to your device’s storage in the Apple Books app by navigating through it in Files app after you finish syncing through iTunes. Ensure that the documents have appeared in “On My iPad/iPhone” section under the Books app after sync is done on your device itself after connecting via USB cable which takes up some space at “Other Data.” Be cautious while reviewing documents because files in “On My iPad/iPhone” will occupy valuable space that could not be managed separately within iCloud cloud storage with flexibility same as from built-in ‘Purchase & downloads.’ Although PDFs do save onto cloud backup under normal conditions once imported successfully and are available offline even when not connected to WiFi, it is recommended to regularly check and backup your files through iTunes or iCloud as part of your data management strategy for optimal performance and storage management.

FAQs

Q: What if my PDF files are already on my iPhone or iPad? A: If you already have your PDF files on your iOS device, you can simply open them directly through the Files app or any other compatible file manager app and then import them into Apple Books by clicking on ‘Add to Library’ or ‘Open with Books’ option if applicable directly in files or folder previewed as in Preview or Shortcuts depending on their nature of apps used for file management.

Q: Can I add PDF files from my iCloud Drive? A: Yes, if your PDF files are already uploaded in iCloud Drive you can simply share them with Apple Books app or open them from there directly within Books app by syncing through iTunes and checking out in ‘Cloud Drive’ under My Documents. However make sure to first convert unsupported documents into epub or azw3 formats through either local iOS documents app (only support doc text type) or via third party apps like Adobe Acrobat Reader which has conversion feature before importing them directly into books for compatibility concerns which depends on book’s complexity such as font sizes used within document content etc.

Q: What if my PDF files are in a different format? Is it still possible to upload it in Apple Books? A: As per our information , some pdf format may not compatible with Apple Books but it does support converting PDF file type . But remember Apple books don’t convert different files type without further software involvement unless files are directly pdf doc compatible such as text txt word doc html etc which can be uploaded directly into books library as epub format is supported by Apple books . If you have files in different format like docx, txt etc then you may need to convert them into epub format first before uploading into Apple books library . 第三方软件可以帮助您完成转换过程。
