Q: After iOS upgrade to 8.3 Bookshelf PDFs Vanished.

I brought up bookshelf and saw my list of items, then it disappeared.  I could not find it again. 

THe he upgrade involved a complete restore from backup.

i need one today, which is a downloaded law from the local government. 

Nasty.

i did backup on iTunes. 

just use maybe the stuff is there.  If not, I have other difficult means.

    These files are gone, I'm afraid. iTunes doesn't back up iBooks, you have to "transfer purchases" manually to desktop iBooks and then sync books after the backup is restored. Moreover, some files will inevitably be missing due to random iBooks/iTunes bugs.

    Just don't use this half-baked app for anything ever. It didn't get any better with iOS 8/iTunes 12.
