Is there a way to edit titles of PDF documents in iBooks? Several documents I downloaded to iBooks are listed as "untitled" and I would like to add proper descriptors.

Having done that, the changes will be reflected on your iPad next time you sync.
Thanks! However, it sure would be more convenient to be able to edit within the app. Oh well, still pretty cool to be able to download PDF files for viewing on the iPad.
Well, visit the Apple App store and buy GoodReader (check HERE), a $5 purchase but a fabulous program - I download nearly all of my PDFs to this app - titles are easily changed - good luck in your choice! :thumbs:
I've had mixed success changing PDF titles with Goodreader. Sometimes the new/changed title shows up in iBooks, and sometimes it doesn't. I haven't been able to figure out why this happens.

A question about Goodreader, can you also edit content in the document itself and save it?
