Q: lost documents in ibooks on iphone6

i just did a back up and restored my iphone from the back up. I've lost everything in ibooks - mostly important PDF documents that I've been collecting for the past few years.

 

How can I get them back? I've tried doing another restore from backup but nothing! I have itunes and OS on iphone6 up to date

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

    They aren't included in the actual backup. As well as doing a backup did you copy them over to your Mac i.e. did you do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases in iTunes (that should copy PDFs and/or epubs in the iBooks app on your phone, not just actual ibooks and other purchases), and then also did File > Move Books From iTunes in your Mac's iBooks app ?
