Hi There,
I'm signed into iTunes on both my iPad and Computer but non-purchased content (like PDFs) NEVER sync. I've also tried syncing the device using iTunes but still no joy.
How do I get this working? Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers

iPad Pro, iOS 9.3.1
So was told by Apple that PDF files don't sync, which is frankly painful.
I have a lot of software and hardware PDF manuals, re-downloading and organising on the Mac all over again seems like such an unnecessary waste of time right?
Epub and PDF files DO sync between iBooks+iTunes, iTunes+iOS, and iBooks+iCloud Drive. I find the latter option most convenient for my own purposes.
However, problems arising with the whole iBooks/iTunes/iCloud family on Macs most often occur after system updates and upgrades. I have found on several occasions that performing a safe boot of my Mac (hold down the shift key on restart), then going to System Prefs/iCloud and signing in again, and doing the same with iBooks and iTunes, solves whatever problem I'm experiencing.
Yeah! This worked for me too after upgrading to OS X 10.11.6 and iOS 10.0.2- nice fix, but far out!!
Had to do OS X safemode, delete all manually added iBooks PDF's and ePubs first, sign out of iCloud on all devices, do wifi-off on Mac and flightmode on the iPad - THEN start over with logins, including waiting for all my iCloud stored PDF's, ebooks and ePubs to download to my MacBook.
Lastly on the Mac, i could drag my two new ePub's into a new collection in iBooks and watch them upload and sync to my iPad.
Thanks :-)
PS As a side-note ALL downloading docs were sized as 9,22EB (no - not GB, but EB?!)
How to force iBooks to sync between devices?
