iBooks on iPad not showing images in PDFs

Okay -- from a PC user -- I came across the same problems all of y'all have been talking about with images/graphics not showing up on pdfs on iPad. I bought my iPad pretty for the sole purpose of using it as a book/pdf reader alongside my laptop for learning Adobe Creative Suite. Anyway, the last poster's suggestion about saving as PDF/X got me started on the right track. Saving the file as a PDF/X brought up an error message saying I needed to use PREFLIGHT with a PDF/X profile.

I searched for Preflight in Acrobat help and it said to go to View, Tools, Print Production. The instructions from that point were too complex for this late at night, so in Adobe Acrobat X Pro, I opened my file(s), went to Tools, Print Production and on the taskbar on the right, I chose Prelight. I then chose Standard at the top of that box and selected Save as PDF/X. It went through all its procedures and Voila! It worked perfectly on 20mb files! Yay! Some of the images/charts are not as clear as they could be on my iPad, but they'll do just fine. The pdfs are even usable on my iPhone if only I could see them.

Hope this helps someone.

Thank You, that worked!

Excuse me Apple, for not being satisfied. I'm a PC user; I've sent a .PPT presentation including graphs, tables etcetera to the Ipad; when viewing the presentation on the Ipad using Keynote, it does not show certain graphs and tables, where it does show lines and arrows in thesame slide.

This means I can't show collegues or customers the presentation from the Ipad, which was the reason I bought the Ipad in the first place!

Also converting to .pdf didn't work...

Apple, van you provide a simple solution for this?

Same problem. Unfortunately the national magazine PDF is password protected. Meaning I can't save or edit it. Is Apple going to fix this problem with the upcoming iOS 5? 5 months of trying to getting the National organization ( International Brotherhood of Magicians) to fix this problem on their end has resulted in nothing but stonewalling.

I've found an easy workaround from a PC, using Adobe Acrobat X.

Choose to Print, and select "To PDF" from the dropdown.

Click on Properties next to the drop down list.

In the box that has appeared, make sure the tab "Adobe PDF Settings" at the top is selected.

Change "Default Settings" Dropdown box to "High-quality print".

Close the properties box and click the "Ok" button to print. It will ask you where to save the file.

Done!

This is obviously going to increase your file size, x3 for me personally, but I would have chosen high-quality in the first place considering you're either reading or presenting a product.

iOS5 have solved the image problems with pdf files.

Thumbs up to Apple!!!

I have had this same problem since I purchased the first generation iPad the day they came out--various PDFs I own don't display some images. I have GoodReader and a few other apps for viewing PDFs on iPad, but all have the same problem.

Is there a way to fix this problem without having to buy more software?

I have tried saving the PDF in Preview as many people have suggested. This did *not* correct the problem.

Any other solutions?

You dont have to buy any new software, just use iTunes to upgrade your IPad OS to the latest version and your're done!

The images which cannot be shown in adobe reader,ibook,goodreader can be shown in Apabi Reader(http://www.apabi.cn/download.shtml). Apapi is great. mac preview's save will make file too big,it's not a good solution.

For books that are JPEG2000 images, the time taken to render each page is like 4 seconds under iOS 5.

Try this app http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pdf/id409408178?mt=8

to solve the blasted wait time issue, time is too short to wait for some other PDF reader to render the page..
