How can I easily sync and share pdf files between my laptop and iPad?

I frequently download pdf documents on my laptop, from websites, emails, etc, and would like to drop them into a folder which then syncs with my iPad so that I can read them later. Is there a way to do this, an app, etc, so that the iPad could access the documents. I expect this to either be an on-the-air automatic synch or a Cloud based solution where both laptop and iPad synch to the cloud folder.

Hi lenpan,
I use Dropbox and it works great. Its a cloud solution so while your iPad doesn't automatically "sync" it can always read from the cloud and you can set files to be available offline.
First sign up for a free Dropbox account from your computer.
Then, download the free Dropbox app on your iPad.
You can then set up a folder on your computer to drag your documents to. This folder syncs with the Dropbox server. The Dropbox app on your iPad can read from your account on Dropbox so you have access to everything that you dragged from your computer to Dropbox. You can also set files on your iPad to be available offline.
Hope this answers your question!

How can I store and share PDF files via iCloud?

I am trying to use iCloud to store and share PDF files from my PC, iPad2 and iPhone 4S... They are supposedly supported. I can share .docs, .xls, etc.... However, I cannot figure out how to share a pdf!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can download an iWork document from iCloud as a PDF, but you can't share a PDF document with iWork apps on iOS devices.

Yes, and we will have integration with our Mobile Readers as well. We've already submitted to Apple for review, and will be live once they complete their review and approval.
With this, we'll allow you to share files pretty easily between Desktop, Tablet and Phone across all OSes...and when you make changes, we'll automatically bring them to and from your phone/tablet! Pretty cool.

You will need Adobe Acrobat for this.

How can I rotate view of a pdf file, like in earlier versions?

Adobe Reader Touch (Windows Store app with "Modern" UI) for Windows 8 is a relatively new product, which was introduced in December 2012. Adobe Reader XI, X, or older is a completely separate product - a traditional desktop app with classic UI. The desktop version has been available in the market for 20 years (!!) and it does not share any common components with Adobe Reader Touch.
Adobe Reader Touch does not support page (view) rotation yet.
For Windows 8, you can download and install Adobe Reader XI from the link below.

For Windows RT, you can use Microsoft Reader (built-in PDF viewer), instead.

How can i change the size of PDF files ?

how can i change the size of PDF files? when i convert documents in the acrobat browser it seems the files become larger then normal pdf files, this is, i compare with other files that people send to me and i realise that they are smaller than my converted files, even if they have more pages.

A lot depends on the form of the PDF. Is it graphics, a scan of a text file, pure text, or other? What version of Acrobat are you working with.
You can do a save as to get a WORD file, but do not expect great results. The ability to get a decent WORD file depends on what the form of PDF you are working from. If it was created from WORD with tags and all, you might get good results. If not, you might get a lot of messed up results.
Explain what you are starting with and your ultimate goal. Also check the audit of the file (should be under PDF Optimize) to see where the file information is concentrated (text, fonts, graphics, other).

How can I perform the conversion of pdf files in Cyrillic script to Word files in Cyrillic script. The pdf file is too small for me to read right now. Julyan Watts

How can I perform the conversion of .pdf files in Cyrillic script to Word files in Cyrillic script. The .pdf file is too small for me to read without a magnifying glass, and the document is more than one thousand pages.

This answer was not helpful. First of all, I could not find "tech specs"
anywhere on the Acrobat 11 homepage. And secondly I purchased this software
for the specific purpose of converting .pdf files to Word. It was only
after I had completed the purchase that I learnt that Acrobat does not
permit the conversion of .pdf files in Cyrillic to Word files in Cyrillic.
I feel that Acrobat should have provided this crucial information before I
allowed my credit card to be debited. That is why I am now asking for my
money back. But thanks for your attempt to solve my problem, even if it was
not successful.

You can't remove password protection (if that is what you are talking about) using Adobe Reader. That would require Acrobat.

Do you own Acrobat? If so what version? If not what version of Word and PP do you have? Newer versions contain non-Adobe software for creating pdfs. If you do not own Acrobat that it would be best to check in a Microsoft forum on how to use Word to create pdfs.

Set up a Network:

How can I delete pages from a pdf file

How can I delete pages from a pdf file

Hi timk,
None of the Acrobat.com online services allow you to edit a PDF file. But, in checking your account, I see that you purchased an Acrobat Standard subscription, and you can certainly use that to edit a PDF file.
Have you downloaded and installed Acrobat Standard? It sounds to me as though you may be opening the PDF file in Adobe Reader, rather than Acrobat. (Reader doesn't allow you to edit PDF files.)
If you haven't already, download and install Acrobat from https://cloud.acrobat.com/acrobat. Then, make sure that you're opening your PDF files in that rather than Reader, when you want to edit them.
Please let us know how it goes!
Best,
Sara
