How do I open a PDF (received through email) on my iPad?
There are several apps that will allow you to open a PDF from you iPad. If you are just wanting to open a PDF and read it, one of the easiest apps to use is iBook.
- Open your email on your iPad.
- Click on the PDF attachment. You may have to click a second time if it doesn’t open on the first click.
- Once the PDF is open on your screen, click in the upper right corner on the icon that looks like a pencil and paper.
- You should now see a menu with the option Open in “iBooks”. Click on that option.
- Clicking on that option will open the PDF in iBooks. It will also store a copy in iBooks that you can reference later.
- You will now have two “Collections” in iBooks, Books and PDFs. You can toggle between the two by clicking on Collections.
