You can sync iBooks PDF between Apple devices. To do this, you need to ensure that the iBooks sync settings are turned on.
1. On your iPhone, go to the “Settings” app.
2. Scroll down and tap on “Books” or “iBooks” (depending on your iOS version).
3. Confirm that the toggle switch next to “iBooks” is turned on. This enables syncing of your iBooks library across all your Apple devices.
Now, let’s dive into the specific steps to sync PDFs between devices:
1. Adding PDFs to iBooks:
– Open the iBooks app on your iPhone.
– Tap on the “Library” tab at the bottom.
– If the PDF is already in your iBooks library, skip to step 3. Otherwise, continue to step 4.
– Tap on the “+” icon in the top right corner.
– Choose the location from where you want to add the PDF (e.g., iCloud Drive, Files, Mail, Safari, etc.).
– Locate and select the PDF file you want to sync.
– The PDF will be added to your iBooks library.
2. Syncing PDFs between devices:
– Ensure that your devices are signed in with the same Apple ID.
– On your other Apple device (e.g., iPad), open the iBooks app.
– Wait for a few moments, and the PDFs you added on your iPhone should automatically sync to your other device.
– If not, you can try manually triggering the sync by pulling down on the “Library” tab to refresh the content.
3. Accessing synced PDFs on different devices:
– Once the PDFs are synced, you can access them on any device with the iBooks app.
– Open the iBooks app on your device.
– Tap on the “Library” tab at the bottom.
– Scroll through your library or use the search bar to find the synced PDFs.
– Tap on a PDF to open and read it.
It’s worth noting that syncing iBooks PDFs requires an active internet connection, as the PDF files are stored in the cloud and synced across devices. If you’re offline, you might not see the latest changes or additions until you’re connected to the internet again.
Additionally, it’s important to ensure that the “Sync Bookmarks and Notes” and “Sync Collections” options are turned on in the iBooks settings on all your devices. This ensures that not only the PDF files but also your bookmarks, notes, and collections are synced across devices.
Syncing iBooks PDFs between devices is a convenient way to access your PDF library seamlessly across multiple Apple devices.
