Moving PDF file to iBooks app Hey guys, recently I have this issue, when I save a PDF file from a website, it automatically saves in "downloads" folder . And then, when I choose "open in iBooks" it opens correctly, but after I exit the PDF file it disappears from iBooks. The strange thing is, that later I opened this same file from downloads folder (it's this iCloud one) on my iPad and it started reading from the point that I stopped on iPhone, but sadly I couldn't move/ save it to/in iBooks once again. When I added book to the iBooks app on Mac it automatically showed in apps on both devices few seconds later. Honestly, it's my first post here, because I can't find any solution to this problem on web and it's really annoying. Has anyone had this issue/ problem? Please help :( PS I updated all of devices, restarted them etc.

Books is suddenly opening all my PDF's. How to stop? Books is finding all of the PDFs on my iMac. I just want books to show the PDF files I add to books, not EVERYTHING. Because of this it is nearly impossible to manage my collections and select files to synchronize with my phone and iPad. I have looked and tried solutions already posted but none of them work. Changing which app opens pdf files does nothing (Preview is used for opening all my pdf files already). This is a very cumbersome problem for me. Hopefully someone has a real fix.

Apple Books don't sync to iCloud When I add a PDF to the Books app in MacOS the file isn't uploaded to iCloud, even though it should be (according to the settings). I'm logged in to all my devices with the same Apple ID, but the file is not available anywhere else than locally on the Mac where it was imported. I have tried to log in/out and to turn off/on iCloud storage for the app, but nothing helps. Does anyone have an idea of what may be wrong?
