Storing and reading PDF's

i am trying to figure out a way to store and read pdf's (and possibly other) documents on my iphone. i would like to store them on the iphone instead of on dropbox or iCloud.
right now i have a suggestion to use iBooks which seems to require me to email the document to myself and then to download it and a suggestion to use Adobe Reader for the iphone which does not get very good reviews.
does anyone have a good way to get pdf (and possibly other) docs to my phone so i can read them? i'd prefer not to use the pages/numbers/whatever iCloud storage as this requires individual uploads, i am not sure i can upload pdfs and also i would /much/ rather just have a disk on my desktop on my HARD DRIVE that automatically synced to my iphone every time i connected the iphone to the laptop or desktop...

Thanks.  Works great for me.

    I am getting messages that I can't download and read .pdf files since I have the wrong Adobe reader. I know about their security disasters of course, but I downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader from the Adobe web site and I have other ,pdf file readers as well, and for some reason they won't work either. I have 5 computers running top end processors and RAM. By this I mean I have one, this one which I am using that has an AMD Phenom Black 3.2 Quad-core with 8 GBs of Corsair top DDR2 RAM, my other two AMD have either an Athlon II triple core with 4 GBs of DDR2 Corsair RAM, one with the Phenom X4 965 3.4 GHz Quad-core with 8 GBs of their best DDR2 RAM, and two Intels with the i7 920 Processors using the triple channel 1366 socket processors and one with 8 GBs of low latency DDR3 RAM and the other with 4 GBs of the same RAM. I am getting the message on this one, which has a fresh install of XP Pro X64 operating system, as do the other 4 as well. I have run Avast Business Pro Anti-virus on this one, which I am getting the message on with a single result which I deleted, and also both Spybot Search and Destroy, which came back clean as well as Malwarebytes Antimalware, which got a lot of tracing cookies now removed, and SuperAntiSpware which also found a few cookies also now deleted. Can you tell me what I need to do to get these files to show as .pdf files rather than as a clean blank page. One other issue is that I wish to know how to turn off my downloads so they are saved and Mozilla will give me the option of returning them instead of me losing them all together as it does now. Thanks for your assistance. If there is another Adobe reader I should download and install, could you provide me with the link to it? I appreciate your assistance here
    == When I download and try to read a .pdf file and when I am asked to turn off all Firefox files and if I do, I lose them since I need to know how to save them without rebooting my computer.

    Brilliant! Problem solved! Thanks so much.

  • How to open and read pdf and micrsoft word (.doc) files or documents

    My problem is how to use my BB 9800 software version 6.0.0.546 to read/view pdf files and microsoft office documents. I have also bought documents to go from online and have installed it on my phone, but whenever i try to open it I receive a message that it is incompactible. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi, Sammy.
    Why not install a 3rd party PDF reader and Word Doc reader to help open and read pdf and micrsoft word (.doc) files or documents? You can google it and select one whose way of processing is simple and fast to help you with the related converting work.  It will be better if it is totally manual and can be customized by users according to our own favors. Remember to check its free trial package first if possible. I hope you success. Good luck.
    Best regards,

  • Why can I no longer download and read .pdf files

    I have never had any problems downloading and reading .pdf files until I 'upgraded' the Adobe reader to version 11. Now all attempted downloads fail because "I don't have the necessary helper application or even C:\DOCUME~1\Will-o\LOCALS~1\Temp\Back Channel II - The Vietnam Betrayal - Chaps 1&2.pdf could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences. What in the world is going on and how do I fix it?
    Under 'Tools - Applications - Adobe Acrobat Document, the I've selected 'Use Adobe Reader.' However since I also have Adobe Acrobat 8.3, I've tried substituting that for the Reader, but that doesn't work either. Please help.

    Brilliant! Problem solved! Thanks so much.

  • Can you use PDF Pack to open and read PDF files?

    Can you use PDF Pack to open and read PDF files?

    Hi Keith,
    PDF Pack is a conversion tool which would convert PDF to different formats and vice versa. It cannot be used for reading PDFs.
    If you want to open and read PDF file you can use Adobe Reader.
    You can download Adobe Reader from below mentioned link.
    Adobe Reader
    let me know if you have any other questions.

  • Is there an app that allows you to download and read pdf files on your ipod touch?

    Is there an app that allows you to download and read pdf file on your ipod touch (5G)?

    There are many apps that allow reading PDFs. GoodReader allows downloading some items. It all depends upon how the site handles the download. It also uses file sharing in iTunes.
    iBooks also reads and had file sharing.

  • When a pdf file is accessed through an online link nothing appears although I can open and read pdf files otherwise.

    I uninstalled then reinstalled Firefox 7, but still get a blank page when I click on a pdf file link. I have no trouble reading PDF files stored on my PC. I use Foxit Reader.

  • Adobe flash player and reading pdf files.

         I've recently been having issues with Safari reading online pdf files and loading up sites using adobe flash player.
         I've somehow tracked down a temporary solve by going into Safari's "preferences", then the security tab.
         Where it shows "internet plug-ins" I have it checked so it can load adobe flash. But when it comes to reading pdf files (adobe reader)
         I have to uncheck "internet plug ins". So in turn I can read the pdfs, but not use adobe flash player.
         There seems to be a conflict between the adobe reader and flash player that I can use both at the same time.
         Any suggestions on how to correct this issue?
         Here's a screenshot of what I have. And if I have to delete one of these plug-ins how can I do this as I don't see any options to do so.

    Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
    Step 3
    If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and check the box marked
    Allow Plug-ins
    Then click
    Manage Website Settings...
    and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
    Step 4
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
    Step 5
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 6
    Do as in Step 4 with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

  • Voiceover support for ABBYY pro and reading pdf files

    I want to know about voiceover support for ABBYY pro in macbook pro. and also want to know whether voiceover support reading pdf files. If so, which is the best pdf reader.

    Not sure if this is what you want, but for reading PDF files out loud, Apple Preview has a command Edit/Speech/Start Speaking, and Adobe Reader has View/Read Out Loud/Activate Read Out Loud.

  • Api for OCR and reading .pdf and .doc(x) files

    Hi Guys,
    Happy new year to you all!
    I am trying to write an app that will read the text in an image, a .pdf or .doc(x) file and extract some information from it. I want this app to be a universal windows app. Is there an api for performing these actions?
    Thanks and God bless.
    The best things in life are free, but the most valuable ones are costly...use opportunities well for there are others like you who deserves them, but don't have them...

    No built-in APIs, but I am sure there are third-party APIs for this.
