I'm frustrated that neither iBooks for iPad or Kindle Reader for iPad allow the highlighting or annotation of text in PDF files. Is there a way to convert a PDF to an ebook format that I could highlight and annotate from within iBooks? If so, what is the best format to convert to?
iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.3
Thanks! - You got me thinking on this and I went to the App Store and there are PDF to EPUB converter apps! "The File Converter" has great reviews. I think it's about $4.99. Check it out!
There are countless other pdf readers available for iOS you might want to check out. Convert pdf to other formats often does not turn out well.
So, I was having a similar issue, and I found a website: http://open.xerox.com/Services/Rossinante this website will allow you to upload your PDFs and convert to .EPUB, which is the format that ibooks needs in order to allow you to highlight and take notes as with all the other ibook format content, hope this works for you as it's working for me!
I'm aware of that, and was afraid of that. I had just hoped that I could make the most out of a minimum of apps. For the time being I have loaded Adobe Reader.
Thank you for this link. Amazing solution that worked perfectly all directly done from my iPhone.
