How to use iTunes USB File Transfer to copy files from PC to Apple iPad, e.g. PDF files for viewer a
- by Chris W. Rea
I'm interested in reading PDF-format ebooks on my Apple iPad. I have half a gig of PDFs I want to transfer to it, from my PC. I'm familiar already with loading EPUB-format titles through iBooks – unfortunately, iBooks doesn't read PDFs so I am looking at using a third-party application.
I know many such third-party media viewer applications for the iPad support download from web or email, but that's a hassle. I've heard iTunes 9.1 added support for USB File Transfer, specifically for iPad devices.
How does USB File Transfer work in iTunes, for transferring files from my PC to my iPad?
Please provide example steps.
