title: Adding PDF to iBooks by code
body: <p>I was recently asked if I could code a simple IPhone/IPad app that:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Checks an FTP server for changes to a PDF file (easy)</li>
  <li>Downloads the lastest PDF (easy)</li>
  <li>Adds or replace the file on iBooks (hmm...)</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I have tried to find any code that deals with inserting/adding/updating files inside iBooks, but sadly there is very little on the subject. Is this even possible except manually through iTunes? My gut feeling says that it's just a matter of writing the file to a folder..</p>
  
  <p>It makes sense if it were such an API. There are many companies that would like to keep their product portfolios up to date, or research manuals that (in theory at least) could benefit greatly from being updated automatically through an app.</p>
  
  <p>Any help or comments are welcome.</p>
