Question

PDF from Mac to iBooks on iPad - how?

Before iBooks for Mac came along I simply dragged my PDF to iTunes and synced my iPad. I foolishly installed Mavericks and iBooks on my Mac.

Now I have no idea how to drop PDF's to my iPad.

There is a support article but no helpful at

What must I do? I simply want Apple drag 'n drop functionality back please.

You should be able to add the PDF to the iBooks app on your Mac via File > Add To Library, and if you then connect your iPad to your Mac and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your Mac's iTunes then it should show on the iPad's Books tab for syncing to your iPad's iBooks app.

Or you can email the PDF to yourself and use 'open in' in the Mail app on your iPad to copy it into the iBooks app.
