I recently wrote an article on 3 Apps you can use to view PDF’s on your iPad and thought it would be a good idea to walk users through the process of transferring PDF files from your computer to the iPad using the iTunes and the GoodReader App. One of the new features that was introduced in iTunes 9.1 is the ability to transfer files from your computer to the iPad via the File Sharing section in the Apps tab. The how-to below will show you how to transfer files from your computer to the iPad so that you can view those files using GoodReader.
Note: GoodReader Lite and GoodReader (paid version) only vary in the limitation of sharing 5 files in the Lite version.
If you need any help or have questions please post them below.
