Fundamental - and embarrassing problem

fanton44 · 01-29-2016, 08:37 AM

Hi,
I am using a Kindle Voyager and the latest version of Calibre in Windows 10.
I produced a *.pdf file document, which opens and displays in Calibre's library. I then send this item to my Kindle which is linked via USB cable to the PC. I can see the rotating hourglass symbol while 1 job is being done.
Still in Calibre, I switch to device and I can find my newly transferred file; it opens and displays as expected.
BUT - when I take the Kindle off its umbilical cord there is no corresponding file available on the Kindle (alphabetical order, search window).
The only way to make it available on the device is to send it by email to my kindle address.
Am I doing something incredibly stupid?

What filter are you using on the Kindle? I usually use All Items, but it can be set to restrict PDOCs (which IIRC includes PDF).

The original file is a *.pdf document and it is reported to have been transformed to MOBI and PDF. Via email it actually arrives a such and can be read on the device.
