Did it not work syncing through iCloud or did you have reasons to avoid syncing through Apples services?
I have mainly ebooks but a few random PDFs and they sync through iCloud. However you need to enable it in the icloud settings rather than in the ibook app settings.

Ah, on the Mac it seems to be in Books->Settings->General: “Sync collections, bookmarks and highlights across devices”.
On iOS there seem to be a setting in both iCloud and inside the books settings, to be honest I don’t know how they interact. I have both enabled.
With regards to iCloud Drive and Desktop & Documents you can disable those:
