I've got a slew of books on iCloud. If I use the Books app on iOS, I can elect to delete my locally downloaded copy of a book *without* flushing the iCloud copy. But there doesn't seem to be the ability to do the same on my Mac. If I have a PDF I've uploaded into the cloud via Books, then there doesn't seem to be any way of deleting just my *local* copy, and the prompt warns me that I'm about to delete the copy from iCloud and every iCloud device.

Can anybody tell me a way to delete a PDF I no longer need a local copy of on my Mac *without* deleting it from my iCloud books altogether?
