MacBook Air (2015) macOS Monterey 12.7.6
Books will not import existing pdf files on my hard drive. I have tried importing files I created as well as files created by others, such user manuals. Until recently, I have had no problems.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.7
Yup! Nothing works. Tried a million different ways. You CANNOT import pdfs into Books any more. I am on Sonoma 14.7.1 (another nightmare with constant spinning beach balls of death for EVERY app, but that' another story!!). What a pain!!!
Same here in a Macbook pro 2019 Intel I9 based updated to MacOS Sequoia 15.2.
It seems the problem is in the import utility, as I can import pdfs and eBooks from my iphone, and then the Books.app shows them correctly (my current workaround: sending everything I want to import to iCloud/Downloads folder, and then open them from files into the Books app on the iPhone).
However, neither dragging pdfs from finder to books, or using "import" from the books app, or sharing a pdf with the books.app works on the macbook.
The problems on my side started after upgrading to Sequoia 15.2 from Sequoia 15.1.x (don't remember which). No idea how to sort this out and eagering for a solution.
Best.
Books will not import pdf files installed on my MacBook Air.
