Is there a way to upload pdf files to the My Library or any other location in Logos?
Nope.
Only major workaround is PDF > Microsoft Word > Personal Book (desktop only)
@DMB I don't understand the workaround!
Yes you do. Word imports pdf's. Thense PBs.
That I do know, but not something starting with PDF!
I'm confused.
Convert PDF files in MS Word and use Word format as the basis for a Personal Book.
@Willie Pankey I've linked the below YouTube video that explains the process. It helped me when I had this question, hope it helps you too:

I don't understand it either. But then again, I think you may have intended to @ a different DMB. Here's hoping Logos gets this tagging system figured out, so as to avoid continued errant tags! -DMB (a different one)
Thanks, SBG. I'll have to check it out.
Aside from intention, he did tag the right DMB, as you will see if you hover your cursor over the DMB in the quoted portion of his reply—the ID of this DMB (118382) is different from your ID (326339). The forum software is the problem, and Logos's plan for dealing with it is for one of you to change your profile name. Barring that, you'll keep getting tagged and …
(Now that I've tagged you, I wonder if the other DMB will be tagged as well 🤔)
I never see tags beyond the little blue ones reading a post. Blissfully unaware I guess.
You may get better mileage converting PDF to Word using Calibre.
Calibre? Interesting. I've never heard of it. I'll check it out.
I don't think that this is what you're looking for, but instead of converting a pdf document to personal books, I have a pdf folder in Favorites with links to my pdf documents. They open up outside of Logos, but it's quicker than converting them to personal books and I don't have to worry about errors.
Ronald, is this what you mean? I realized that you can simply drag and drop a PDF from my iCloud folder into a folder I created in "Favorites." And I was able to open them from there. I still need to organize them, but at least they're closer to Logos than they were. It would be great if you could tag or search them. Someday . . . Thanks to all for your suggestions!
Yes, that's exactly what I have done with my pdf documents.

Build your biblical library with a new trusted commentary or resource every month. Yours to keep forever.
What are your favorite journals that you read/consult regularly in Logos? I'm trying to nail down a list of theological journals I want to frequently read. Thanks!
Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia (Amstelodamensis) (BHSA) appeared in my library last month so I assumed it was part of the monthly books I temporarily get each month with the Max plan. However, it still shows up this month and has a temporary license. I clicked on the Laern More About It link and it took me to a 404…
in today's entry in Today in Christian History: Daily Stories: "The librarian said two similar baskets full had been used to kindle fires.*" I'm wondering why it's starred. I've checked the beginning of the document, and the end of it, and the end of the day's story itself, but there seems to be nothing. Anyone have…
This is a screenshot of a Notebook. Is there a way to make the commentary author's name viewable? You really have to dig to find the author.
