How do i save documents from e-mail to the I-Pad?

I have a new I-Pad Air and am trying to move some files from my Windows laptop to the I-Pad. what is the best way to do this?

The simplest way is to e mail the documents to your self.  On the pad, open the e mail, then the attached document in an app on the pad.  The document will then be saved and associated with that app.
You can also use a cloud, like drop box.
The key to avoiding frustration for new users - do not expect to see a file management scheme like windows.  It simply does not exist.  Docs are stored in associated with the app that opens them.

    Good question - and one that a lot of (business) people would like solved!
    Your question prompted me to do some research, and I found this workaround posted by Scott Grossberg:
    His solution actually addresses a second problem too - how to attach a document when replying to an email message. In your case you may not need to consider the "reply" aspect - but if not right now, it'll come in useful someday!
    I've pasted it verbatim - if it works for you (it does for me) then all credit goes to Scott for solving the problem. There's just one thing I'd add to his solution: you will probably want to rename the message, as by default Goodreader gives it the Subject line: Mail with GoodReader attachments.
    THE GOODREADER OPTION
    1.  CREATE the document you want to send.
    2.  SAVE it to GoodReader (this will require you to buy and install the app).
    3.  Go to your email and OPEN the email thread to which you want to Reply and attach your file.
    4.  COMPOSE your Reply.
    5.  DOUBLE TAP the message.
    6.  TAP SELECT ALL. This will copy the entire email thread.
    7.  OPEN GOODREADER on the iPad and go to the file you want to send as part of your Reply.
    8.  At the bottom of the GoodReader screen you will see an EXPORT icon (it looks like a rectangle with an arrow pointing to the right).
    9.  TAP the Export button.
    10.  TAP EMAIL FILE. Depending on your needs, tap either SEND FILE “AS IS” or “FLATTEN ANNOTATIONS.” This will open a compose message screen with the chosen document already attached.
    11.  TAP in the body of the email screen. TAP PASTE. This will place your composed Reply and the prior email thread into the message.
    12.  ENTER the Recipients’ names in the TO: field of your message.
    13.  SEND your email Reply.
    The modified version (= when composing a new message rather than a reply):
    1 Make sure that the doc you want to attach is saved in GoodReader
    2 In the message you are composing, double tap, select all, and then copy.
    3 Open GoodReader and select the file you want to attach
    4 Select the export button at the bottom of screen
    5 Select e-mail file
    6 Position cursor in body of the email message, tap and paste. You may want to delete the "sent from GoodReader" text that precedes the attachment.
    7 Rename your message (as by default it will be Mail with GoodReader attachments)
    8 Add the recipient's address in the To field.
    Hope this helps! All thanks to Scott for this workaround.

    You can't.  iCloud doesn't support general file/document storage.  Try a different cloud service like Dropbox.

  • How do I save documents from the new Pages into a Word Document

    How do I save documents from the new Pages into a Word Document?

    Thank you so much - so simple!  I had been using the 'share' option (worked in old Pages) and only had icloud or email as options.  I have to attach word documents to emails to send to work. I don't want to use icloud because it's too public and I don't trust it.  Also, you have to be able to access the internet and I need word documents on my USB stick for work where there's no internet.
    I love my Mac but I do wish Apple would remember those of us living in less-than-perfect computer-land.
    Thanks again

  • How do I save documents from iCloud into pages on my ipad?

    HOw do I save documents from iCloud into pages using an ipad?

    Where are you expecting to see "iCloud document?" Pages stores copies of your documents in iCloud but the documents appear in the Pages app. When you edit the document changes are automatically saved to iCloud. You do not go to iCloud to look for documents to open or copy.

  • How can I move documents from my iPad to the cloud?

    I am trying to move documents into the cloud from my iPad. Every time I select the upload icon, only my photos show up. How do I find my documents?

    squirrels,
    To save a single PDF document on iPad to Acrobat.com (i.e. one document at a time)
    Open a PDF document in Adobe Reader for iOS.
    Tap anywhere in the document to display the toolbar.
    Tap this icon in the toolbar.
    Select "Save to Acrobat.com".
    If prompted, sign in with your Adobe ID.
    If you want to transfer a lot of PDF documents on your iPad to any cloud storage service, you can transfer them to your Windows/Mac desktop computer using iTunes first.

  • Is it possible to download document from a PC to the I-pad 2?

    Is it possible to download a document from my PC to my I-Pad 2?

    The easiest way to transfer a document for a beginner - IMHO - is to email the file. These are the file formats that the iPad can read as mail attachments with no need for a third party app. The caveat here is read only - not edit.
    Viewable document types: .jpg, .tiff, .gif (images); .doc and .docx (Microsoft Word); .htm and .html (web pages); .key (Keynote); .numbers (Numbers); .pages (Pages); .pdf (Preview and Adobe Acrobat); .ppt and .pptx (Microsoft PowerPoint); .txt (text); .rtf (rich text format); .vcf (contact information); .xls and .xlsx (Microsoft Excel)
    There are apps available that will let you edit word processing, spreadsheet and presentation files. Apple's iWorks suite, Documents to Go, Office2 HD and others can edit the MS office suite applications. You will need one of these apps on the iPad to edit and to save the files. On the iPad, files are saved in the app in which they are created. There is no conventional folder structure on the iPad for file saving.
    The other ways that you can transfer files back and forth are with a cloud service like DropBox and the iOS file sharing feature. File sharing is performed when you you sync with iTunes on your computer. You can read this for more information.

  • How do I save documents from iBooks on iPad to my iMac?

    I am upgrading to iPad Air 2. Yeay! I am backing up everything on my old iPad (3rd generation), preparatory to erasing it to hand it on to a family member. There are documents I have saved into iBooks on my old iPad that are nowhere else, all categorised, and this represents a lot of work over several years. I have already lost a lot of these, when I updated the system recently. (Why is that?) I can easily save documents or other media to my iMac (27 inch, late 2013, Yosemite 10.10.2) from just about every other app, Apple and non-Apple, but not iBooks! What is that about? And how can I save the ones I still have? Do I have to email each one to myself? (The only solution I have thought of so far.)

    You can manually add the files to your iTunes library...on Apple's support pages:
    "To add PDFs to your iTunes library on your computer, drag and drop the PDF into your iTunes Book library. If you're using OS X Mavericks or later, drag and drop your PDFs into your iBooks library using iBooks for Mac."

  • How do I save documents from ipad to idisk without a pc/mac

    Im new to idisk and haven't a clue how to upload a file to it or a movie or music!!! Do I have to create the file on a pc? can i store my emails there? if so how would i upload my emails from the ipad to the idisk fro example? appreciate any interactions for the Dummy in me thanks

    I assume that you have Pages and the DropBox app on the iPad ... so do this and it will work.
    From Pages - email the file to yourself. Tap the Wrench icon and select Share and Print - and then select Email Document. Select the file type from the pop up window - then email the document.
    Go to the mail app - open the email - tap and hold down on the document icon - select Open in - Open in DropBox.
