Does Books app SHARE with PDF editing apps?

I have not used Mojave beta as yet, but am anxious to learn if the new Mojave Books app, stores user made pdf's, and when opening a PDF, will Books SHARE with apps like PDFXpert for editing purposes.

High Sierra iBooks, does not SHARE with any editing apps. So if you edit a pdf in the pdf editor, the changes do not display in iBooks. If I want to see the changes I must open the pdf in the pdf reader or pdf editing software. So new covers are never seen in iBooks.

This is a REAL PAIN for pdf users.

Pardon me but I'm not sure if I follow. If you edit a pdf within iBooks in an external app, the changes you make already affect the very pdf that is stored in iBooks/Apple Books, as far as I'm aware. It does not create a separate file outside iBooks or anything like that, it's the file in the iBooks library the changes are applied to.

For example I have used some markup tools in pdfs in iBooks in the past and the changes were synced via iCloud to all of my other devices just fine, if I then opened the same pdf in iBooks on my iPad for example, the changes were all there. They are "shared" with the pdf in iBooks since that is the pdf they are applied to.

It is my experience, not cover/page one. You will never see an edited cover, once you import into iBooks for Mac. Delete the version in iBooks. If you delete, then try to import the edited version, iBooks remembers the old edition cover, not the one you are importing. Change the file name, no joy, the old cover shows.

This is on a Mac. I don’t know about a PC.
