Anki isn ´t able to see my files to upload them into the system

Hello There,

I have a lot of files on my iPad and Cloud which I would like to also upload to Anki, for using the option with the closed cards on some words.

Unfortunately it´s not possible to upload my files to Anki. I have to take Screenshots of EVERY File to upload it over the Photoalbum function.

That is very uncomfortable and takes a lot of time! I would like to know, why it´s not possible for me to upload my files to Anki…

What’s the format of the files? PDF?

Yes PDF

If you want to import information into Anki, it needs to be in a format that Anki recognizes. Text Files - Anki Manual

Even if Anki can read the text in a pdf, it doesn’t know where you want to put any of it.

The attach button can attach various kinds of images. PDF is actually a document format, not an image format, so I’m afraid it can not be attached directly. If you have a large number of .pdf files, you may be able to find a third-party program that can bulk-convert them into images.
