You can also use the free iBooks or Acrobat Reader applications on iDevice to read and organise pdfs.

Most iOS apps let you transfer files via iTunes. Once you hook up your iPad and select it it in iTunes, click the Apps tab, then scroll down to the file sharing section and click the application you want to add the file to. You can then add or delete files as required.

iBooks is slightly different in that you need to add the PDF to the iTunes book library and then select which pdfs you want to sync under the Books tab.

If you have access to Acrobat Pro on a desktop machine you can create "portfolios" of pdfs but the disadvantage is you have to use Acrobat Reader if you want to use them as is. Good reader etc can open portfolios but have to unpack the individual files to read them.

Incisor sells CD's with the liberated RAVE content through the AULRO shop if you feel like supporting the forum.

Apple does seem to make these things hard. I downloaded rave and the etm on the galaxy s3 and it works great.

with file app pro you share the files between you iphone and your computer via either a third party program on your computer or via wifi network. open the app and all the instructions are in the app. i personally would not recommend file app pro, with large files it is slow and jittery. i only use it because i downloaded it ages ago when there wasnt much else out there. theres a lot of free pdf readers out there these days keep trying thr free ones till you get one that suits you.
