how do I sync PDF on laptop with ipad device

[peterw34180319]

A simple question I think!

I'm new to Digital Editions. I downloaded an ebook and it synced seamlessly with the DE on my ipad. However I have now added a PDF doc to my DE software on my laptop and it doesn't show up on the DE library of my ipad.

I want to read this PDF offline on an aircraft..

How can I get the PDF to sync with the DE installed on my device?

I notice that the ebook I have has a little cloud and a tick over it in the library of the laptop but not for the PDF doc

I just want all my library on my laptop to sync with my ipad (is this not what DE does??) maybe I missed the point.

p.s. I have read the very poor documentation on this and cant find any references to what syncs and how.

Many thanks

Which Version of Digital Edition do you used on his Device and on his iPad?
You must used the same Version of DIgital Edition so that work.

Works it with ePubs? Or have the Problem only with PDFs?

the only book I have, synced ok. The problem is with my own PDF files (i.e. not downloaded from a publisher)

PDFs which are not eBooks was not work. When you want read in iPad you should download directly in the memory of the iPad. The same has not work by me. Also syncro with Digital Edition.
