Ive recently bought an ipad mini.
Here is my experience:
I love it for study or reading. I have transferred a couple of hundred pdf files onto it and its perfect for the purpose. However - file transfer is appallingly slow. I have been using dropbox and you have to individually open each file you transfer to get it saved offline and its slow, it can take 5-10 minutes for a large pdf (40Mb). However, I did a mostly one off transfer and now I just add in the odd book or paper so its ok.
Why did you transfer transfer a couple of hundred files, ONE AT A TIME!!, using Dropbox??!!
A FAR easier method would have been to connect your iPad to your computer via iTunes and simply copy over all the pdf's you wanted in one fell swoop?
Transferring files en masse to the iPad was no problem, contrary to the above. I did it both in iTunes from the computer for the built-in iBooks reader
I wasn't aware that you needed additional functionality regarding the pdf's.
What you need is an app called 'Goodreader'. It will definitely do all that you have outlined and more. It has its own file system also for categorisation. It is probably one of the best apps for the iPad.
Hi truthseeker, I haven't used Acrobat Reader on the iPad, but do use GoodReader. It is generally considered one of the best PDF readers for iPad, based on reviews. It supports annotations and does lots more besides. Transferring files over WiFi is easy. I have many dozens of college books in it, organised in folders by course. I get them by synching with Google Drive folders, but it supports Dropbox and several other mechanisms too.
Hi dub_nerd,
I had a look in the app store there, its not a free app I take it?
I find Acrobat Reader great tbh, if I could only get lots of files into it at once itd be perfect.
Yeah, GoodReader costs a massive $5.
Have you looked at Acrobat updates recently? They have a version XI and a new cloud service of their own -- files.acrobat.com -- which supports folders and, I infer from what I read, synching with the mobile version.
