pdf is trapped in ibooks

Help, I purchased a PDF workout guide on my iPad from a website. I chose to open it in iBooks, which it runs in fine, but I am unable to get it onto my other devices. I cannot redownload from the site unfortunately, and it is too big to email out of ibooks. When I go to sync it with my computer though, iTunes does not show it along with my ibooks.

Any suggestions to see what content I have on my iPad from my iMac?

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10), 21.5-inch, Late 2013

When you connect your iPad to your computer, open iTunes, and with the iPad selected, select File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. This should transfer the pdf to your computer. It should now be accessible in iBooks on your Mac, and you can sync it with other devices.
