voice memos:
I have 100s of voice memos that I recorded using the Apple voice recorder standard app and I want to get them on my pc altogether in one go.
pdfs:
I often save mobile Safari pages as Books which are then automatically saved (very quickly and well-formatted) as pdfs. On a website opened in Safari, you can choose the "send to"- button and then the orange Symbol for books. I have houndreds of self-generated pdfs in ibooks, and I have googled and tested for a longer time how to transfer them to my pc (see the details of these tests in the answer section).
Is there any trick to bulk move ALL voice memos in just one go + ALL pdfs in Books to the pc in just one go? I am happy about ANY way to reach this.
Please mind: I do not want to save every voice memo / pdf, piece by piece, in a cloud or app nor send each of them, piece by piece, by mail. This costs too much time and nerves and is not a bulk move.
I found a working solution in Decipher Backup Browser 14. This program might not be the only one achieving the aim, but it does the thing. Whoever finds other programs, please add an answer.
It simply reads out the data from the iPhone backup that you can create with iTunes. The program offers extracting all voice memos, as well as extracting all PDFs in "All PDFs in Backup". In the full version, you can then save them in one go to your pc. Thanks go to the pragmatic e-mail help including the screenshot.
Another possible solution perhaps is to sync your iBooks with iCloud - perhaps, because there is no working test, neither on Windows nor on macOS.
#### Testing the sync of the Safari pdfs:
(I originally got the info of the possible sync on macOS from the Decipher company, but I assume this is a simple misunderstanding or outdated.)
I sync iBooks with iCloud, iBooks are part of iCloud's "Manage Storage" option in my iPhone Settings, and still I do not see the pdfs there. On Windows, I do not see any iBooks sign at all in iCloud. iBooks is supposed to be hidden in iCloud Drive according to https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/296462/locating-the-ibooks-folder-in-icloud-drive?newreg=1d6ae7995129403b99e57fe74feae430, but I could not succeed with the help of that link, the answers there are for Apple macOS command line (macOS bash). Then an additional investigation turned out that even if there were a hidden folder on Windows (which does not), it would not help: #ankii was so kind to test this on macOS, the needed pdfs cannot be seen in the macOS hidden iBooks folder either. See https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/395290/locating-the-ibooks-folder-in-icloud-drive-on-windows, #ankii:
I exported a wikipedia page to iOS iBooks, as pdf. It shows up on iOS
app. but not on Mac app. that is weird.
Please, if anyone has managed this iCloud sync on Windows or macOS, answer here, but it seems as if there is no solution.

The simple reason why all of the normal file transfer tools cannot help, but only those which give you the contents of the iTunes backup, is because the needed pdfs ARE only in the backup. :)
When you delete such a "Safari-pdf", it will ask you whether you want to delete this from iCloud or if you only want to delete it from the downloads. That is just the standard question for the real e-books, while the "Safari-pdfs" that this thread is about are not part of iCloud anyway.
And it seems as if this will not change in the future, according to https://discussions.apple.com/thread/251534441 discussion results.
##################### Finally:
After having saved all of the PDFs, deleting them in two alternatives:
Books > Library > Edit > "Select All" on the left (you may also do this inside a specific collection only so that you can filter what you want to delete, you can also multi-select PDFs manually instead of "Select All")
or delete all by going to Settings --> Passwords & Accounts --> iCloud --> iCloud --> Manage Storage --> Apple Books (mind there are 2 of them, take the first one) --> Delete Documents & Data

Proof that the bulk move cannot be done without a 3rd party app.
I have tried several 3rd party programs to transfer the pdfs, but none of them find the Safari pdf prints, they only find just the commercial e-books. iTunes does not find them either.
I was asked by a moderator to move the details of what I have already tried to reach a bulk move - and which were at first part of the question - to this answer. This was tested in 04/2020, but the problem will still be the same.

iPhone 7, iOS 13.4.1 transfer iBooks pdfs to Windows 10
either with 3rd party apps or iTunes v. 12.10.5.12
result: nothing works, only workaround is using Adobe Acrobat or
iCloud Drive going through each single pdf
Unsuccessful try only using iBooks and iTunes:
In iTunes, clicking on your phone symbol, the iTunes pane that appears has a lot of options like overview, music, films... and also third party apps like kindle or acrobat in the last menu point, but there is no iBooks anywhere.
In the main menu, iBooks folder is empty. Right-click on iBooks and "transfer purchases" leads to nothing, of course: I have not bought any pdf, but just printed it from safari. In the settings, in "iTunes and App Store" make sure that "iBooks and audiobooks" are switched on for automatic download.
Third party apps fail to show iBooks' Safari pdf prints:
Tested up to now (few of so many): iMazing, iExplorer, easeus, ApowerManager, Phonepaw, iTools 4.4.5.8
Only those pdfs that you had actually added from the pc to the phone
are also in the books folder in the third party apps.
Those pdfs that are just printed pdfs from safari websites do not appear in the third party apps of iTunes.
iCloud Drive or Adobe Acrobat app: The current workaround which takes too much time and nerves:
Adobe Acrobat v. 20.04.00 app on the iPhone, click on every pdf's 3 dots in the overview in iBooks, save it in Acrobat. Then use iTunes, clicking on your Phone symbol, use the last menu point to get to Acrobat 3rd party app and then mark all pdfs and save them to a folder on your pc.
You can also use iCloud Drive, AirDrop or the like, works the same and does not need iTunes. Make sure that in your iPhone preferences, iBooks --> iCloud Drive is switched on (this is the standard anyway). Still the same issue with any such solution: no bulk move possible.
In Books, use the "Save to Files" option. Afterwards, follow these directions.
We are having issues uploading the screenshots for the iPhone 5.5-Inch display (can’t “choose file”), even though we have screenshots 1242x2208.
There is no option shown to add iPhone 5.5-Inch display to add in iTunes connect to publish the app.
And this app is available in two languages -- English and chinese to upload screen shot. When we select chinese option to upload screen, there is no option to add for 5.5 inch display.
When I update the version of my App, also encountered the same situation. After trying various methods, the solution is found.
upload a screenshot of the non-primary language,
change the primary language,
modify the non-primary language screenshot,
change back the primary language.
Yeah Succeed!!!
I'm supposed to develop a mobile app for moodle using android on titanium studio. And I have been searching for days for any helpful article on how to get a file chooser dialog to work on android. Most of the tutes offer image upload but I need to upload .pdf and zip files from mobile. I have already tried fileChooserDialog() and folderChooseDialog() to no avail. Help please?
There isn't a file chooser out of the box, as apps usually send files to each other internally. You can roll your own using ListViews though easily..
Build a list of all the files you're interested in. (https://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/api/Titanium.Filesystem.File-method-getDirectoryListing)
Loop through the list omitting any file types you don't want and build the list
When the user selects a file capture the click event and upload that file.
Style however you want..

I'm developing an Windows Store app and I'm trying to load a formatted page into an in-app viewer. As Windows 8.0 does not support PDF natively, I'm trying to load the XPS format instead.
I've tried loading the XPS Uri directly into WebView using the code below, but the result is just a blank page:
ResultsWebView.Navigate(xpsFile);
Is there a way to view XPS file within Windows Store apps?
If not, can anyone think of a way to view formatted documents in app? My next option is probably to find an API to convert the PDF into a PNG image, and load the image directly. I'm trying to avoid using non-native APIs as my app needs to be cross-platform, so the tricky part with APIs is that I need to make sure whatever I use is compatible with both Windows RT and Windows 8.
PDF support was added in Windows 8.1 (in essence).
I researched extensively and could not find a suitable solution that was easy to implement, so I resorted to creating a new module that reads my inputs, generate an html stream, and use that stream to display on WebView.
In the end it was a couple of days' work to format it properly to match the PDF, but not hard at all to implement. I've already spent a lot of time researching an "easy" way out by reading PDF/XPS directly to no avail anyway.
I have a project in vb 2010 that im working on. I want to know if i publish this and make it downloadable when it is done will my background music be heard by others?
Im pretty sure it's only playing on mine because the song is on my computer right?
Is there a code to make it so it stays even if i make this program downloadable?
You need to have the background music distributed with the program. It should be possible to include the music file as a resource in your project, and then to pass that resource to what you use to play the audio.
Alternatively, you could simply package the music file with your executable (whether you're using a zip or an installer), and then find the file in the same directory as your application, and play it that way.
