I would like to move my PDF files that I have in iBooks to the iCloud drive so that they could be accessed from other apps like "PDF Expert". Can anyone tell me if that is possible outside of emailing each PDF file to myself and then opening them in PDF Expert to then store on the iCloud Drive?
iPhone 5, iOS 7.1.2
I was having these same issues myself but after playing around with it for a while, I believe I figured out the issue. When you open a file it gives you the option to either click "More..." or "Open in iBooks". I think once you choose to open it in iBooks (with the expectation of it displaying on your iCloud Drive as told by Apple) there is no way to export it to your drive. However, if you click "More...", there is an option to save the document to your iCloud Drive from which where you will be able to see it. I've attached photos for a better understanding and I sure hope this resolves the question being asked because it is extremely frustrating when you have a drive and sync the app to it by nothing shows up on the drive at all.
Pinch open by placing two fingers on screen and spread.
That's what I tried but nothing happening.
It is a exreem shame that apple cannot arange something as simple as this, why would they not share the pdf that i add to ibooks from the web?
Investigating on the same problem - running iOS11 and iOS10: there is no option to push a share button hence to proceed on moving files from iBooks to iCloud Drive...
PLEASE help!
Hi, thank you for such a nice answer😃 very nice 👍. I tried for a long time with different ways but was not successful, your answer resolved it in a second. Appreciated 😃
With pinch spread the document and you will see share button at the top right corner 😃
mvan29,
This took a while to do but once I did that I saved some in iBooks actually and then put a few in iCloud Drive.
I just wish iBooks wasn’t so restricted.
