iOS Books - Automatically download PDFs?

[nicholasg]

I have a bunch of PDFs in my Books library on my iMac and in iCloud.

On my iPad I can see each PDF BUT it looks like I have to download each one individually. is there a way to set things up so they download automatically on my iPad as I add them on my iMac?

Thanks,
Nicholas

Add PDFs to your Library on Mac. Open Apple Books, then find your PDF file in Finder or on your Desktop and drag the file into your Library. Your PDF will be available in the Books app on any iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac, as long as you're signed into the same Apple ID and have iCloud Drive turned on for Books.
The first time you open iBooks on the iPad after adding a PDF on your Mac it will download. After that it will be there unless you change it.

Thanks. But I have hundreds of PDFs I want to load on my iPad and was hoping there was a way for them to automatically downloaded.
