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.
The forum software is the problem, and Logos's plan for dealing with it is for one of you to change your profile name.
FYI, the forum software is produced and operated by a different company. We have reported this bug to them.
That's good. All I remember seeing before is the suggestion for one of them to change their profile name.
Yes, that would be a workaround in the meantime.

Build your biblical library with a new trusted commentary or resource every month. Yours to keep forever.
My read aloud feature when set on 1x is too fast and the 0.75x is too slow. I tried to adjust on my MacBookpro accessibilty area, but when I change the settings there, it doesn't transfer over to my logos book.
As far as I see, the Carta Understanding series is no longer available in the shop. Is this related to past issues (see here)?
I have been using the read aloud feature, on my laptop, to read through the ESV Bible in one year. This version has the DAVID COCHRAN recorded voice which is much easier for me to listen to, compared to the Windows Computer Voice. Everything has been working flawlessly until we made it to Hebrews on December 18, 2025. This…
Almost 15 years ago, I started using Verbum. I bought a nice sized library, went through the setup, thought I had everything the way I wanted it. Now, I want to simplify. My Initial startup panel has an option for the Catholic Daily Lectionary. I select the date I want and Verbum opens a layout that has all my bibles…
I looked at the Lexham Survey of Theology today, and found at its beginning a diagram that looked interesting, but that I found almost impossible to navigate usefully. It popped up in the Media Tool, which I almost never use, so I'm hoping there's a way to zoom in and out in such a diagram that would make it intelligible.…
