Q: How do I add a pdf file to my iPhone 6 using iTunes or other methods?

Dear Forum,

 

How do I add a pdf file to my iPhone 6S's iBook library using iTunes or another method?

I have iTunes 12.3.3.17 on my Mac and I have the most up-to-date IOS on my iPhone 6.

 

Thanks,

Steve

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.4.8)

    I assume that your tagline saying that your Mac is on 10.4.8 is wrong as iTunes 12.3.3 requires 10.8.5+ - or is it the iTunes version that you say is installed is wrong ?

     

    If your Mac has iBooks on it (OS X 10.9+) you can add the PDF to that via File > Add To Library, and it should then show (assuming that you aren't using iCloud Drive for iBooks on your phone) on the phone's Books tab for selecting and syncing to it - if it's on OS 10.8 add it to your iTunes library so that it shows for syncing.

     

    Or you could email it to yourself and use 'open in' in the Mail app on your phone to add it to its iBooks app

    Hi King Penguin,

     

    Yes, the tagline is wrong (not sure how the tagline was added); I have 10.9.5.

     

    Your suggestion for dropping the PDFs into iBook first worked for me.

     

    Thanks,
