A friend has asked how she can view a PDF on her brand new Mini iPad . She downloaded a copy of a local news magazine, but I couldnt find the download. My guess is that it can be viewed in her iBooks app - but where might it be hiding, and how to move it into the app that will read it?
Help much appreciated!
Hi Michael, try to mail the PDF to the iPad.
You will be able to find it in the inbox.
I have just done this and it worked from iMac to iPad.
Regards, Brian
Hi Michael - on an iPad it won't be stored as the iPad has no file storage system like the Mac. If she's downloaded it in Safari it will appear in Safari, displayed like any other web page but if she navigates to another page it will disappear. If she wants to store it for future use, she can send it to an online storage system like iCloud Drive or DropBox
When I've received PDF files via email before, or found them in Safari, I have the option to 'open in iBooks' then they seem to be accessible in there, (until I upgrade the iOS and often they will then disappear!)
Hmm... when you 'see' a .pdf in Safari you are just looking at the page as rendered in that (or any) browser. If you want to 'keep' it (the .pdf) you should save it (cmnd + s). No need to "print to .pdf", just save the file in Safari.
