[K3] PDF manuals on iBooks

JonKG6VDW
HI Giuseppe,

I have found that GoodReader works much better for PDF's than iBooks.  I am
displaying the K3 Owners manual with all of its pictures as we speak.

Thanks

I agree that GoodReader is generally better than iBooks for reading
pdf's on an iPad, but Giuseppe's discovery applies to GoodReader too.
Not all images in the P3 manual display on the iPad, and saving a new
version of the pdf from Preview makes everything show up, though the
difference is invisible on a Mac.

It's not every image that causes problems, though, as if they were
created in more than one program and assembled from several sources.
Which makes sense.  So, many of the manuals are probably completely
ok, and you will find problems only when your iPad version has a blank
area that should have an image or figure in it.

Ron,

The bmp images all show up in iBooks, but the jpegs do not for the most part. For example, the images on the cover page and pages 10, 11, 13, 22, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43 and 45 are missing.

Maybe it's a function of the way the manual was downloaded and saved but I downloaded the manual, reviewed it in Preview in OSX and then saved it.  

All those  pages have images using iBooks on my iPad.
