Thumbnail view of local network .pdf files on iPad?

Problem: I have about 250+ Lego Building Instructions saved on my MacPro.  My kids like to rebuild the sets and I'm looking for a way to view these form our iPads WITHOUT me having to sync them. 
Is there any app that offers a visual/thumbnail view of local network pdf files?
I'm aware that I could upload them all to Dropbox, but even then I was not able to find a visual view in the Dropbox app.  And, since there is no need to go up to a cloud I'd like to avoid that step.
I would rather not have them even kept on the iPads but rather just have the iPads view the copy from my hard drive and then trash it on close off said magical app.
Any suggestions?

no one?  nothing?  anyone?  anything?

    How to make Adobe as your default viewer for all your PDF file instead of the Preview given? Thanks

    you need to "Get Info" on the file first. Select it, right click and select 'Get Info' in the menu.
    In the window that pops up, near the bottom, the "Open With" drop down menu needs changed. If the drop down menu does not present the one you want, select "Other" and find it.

  • Looking for help for sharing pdf files with ipad from mac.  Pages only recognizes text.  What app should I use for file sharing pdf documents?

    Looking for advice on how to share pdf files with iPad from Mac.   Pages seems to only recognize text.   What app is recommended for pdf documents?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    If I understand your question, you want to read pdfs on your iPad, not create or edit.
    Drag pdf files to the iPad icon in Finder while connected to your computer via the USB cable.
    They will show up in the iBooks application
    (If you don't already have iBooks, it's a free download from the App Store.)
    Once installed, there are two buttons at the top left of the Bookshelf.
    One is Books, the other is Collections.
    Tap Collections, and you'll see Books and PDFs.
    Tap PDFs and you're there.

  • Using pages how to insert pdf files on ipad?

    using pages how to insert pdf files on ipad?    
    Anybody have any idea, have pdf files in ibook do not see where to insert pdf's.
    Also trying to get word files onto ipad using drop box, do these word files need to be saved in another format?
    Also for pages.
    thnx

    No - the Word files do not need to be saved in any other format if you have Pages on your iPad. There are other apps that provide better compatibility than Pages but it will work for you. You have to have DropBox on your PC and the free DropBox app on the iPad to use DropBox to transfer files.
    To send the file using DropBox -  make sure DropBox is running on your computer. Then place the file in one of the folders that you have set in your DropBox folder on your PC. Launch DropBox on your iPad and find the folder that you placed the file into and tap on that folder. Find the document and tap on it. It will open in the window on the right. Tap the arrow icon in the upper right corner and select Open in Pages.
    If you have pdf files in iBooks that you want to put into Pages you have to email them to yourself and use the Open In feature when you open the email. You cannot send a file from iBooks other than to email it - at least I am not aware of any other way.

    i copy a pdf file to ipad by itune, but where can i open it on  iPad?

    How did you get the PDF into iTunes, drag to the books library? What PDF apps do you have on the iPad? If you dragged into the books library - and you have iBooks, look in there.
    You can email the PDF to yourself and it will open a as mail attachment. You need a compatible app in order to save it, but you can open it from the mail app.

  • Trying to transfer pdf files to ipad

    HI which App is best to move PDF's from my PC to my ipad. I have downloaded some free ones but still can't seem to transfer PDF's from the PC though itunes to my ipad. I clicked on the Apps section in itunes and the Apps list comes up and i have tried to add files and or folders but nothing shows up in the ipad. Even tries to click on the Apps icon but that did nothing, maybe i need a better App or something or maybe a better understanding.

  • How to restrict the way to view or print a pdf file

    I am searching for a technique by which I can export a pdf file with following features
    Prompt a pdf viewer to accept some agreement such that the document can't be viewed until user accepts it
    Prompt a pdf viewer to select language so that corresponding content for a selected language is displayed
    Gives options while exporting so that the pdf can't be printed or copied by a pdf viewer
    One probable solution could be to use javascript in Adobe Pro but I am worried about what updates should my pdf viewers should do with the pdf viewer to enable javascript.

    Nothing can prevent a file from being copied/emailed/etc. DRM and certificate security can restrict the identity of the person who can open the file, but moving it about on disk is an operating system task - the file is never opened so it cannot influence the task.

  • Why does my exported mp4 file look so bad when it is viewed in adobe acrobat pdf file?

    I have embedded an mp4 (exported from premier pro cs6) video file into adobe acrobat and its not sharp viewing of my video anymore. It was a sharp video when viewed in both premier and the exported mp4 files, but once embedded in acrobat it looses sharpness, anyone know what the problem might be? Could my settings  in adobe acrobat be wrong? I would think the problem is in adobe acrobat since the exported mp4 video views crisp and clear before its embedded, any ideas to assure sharpness with my video after its embedded into the adobe acrobat pdf?
    Hoping someone has an answer to this, I think my problem might lie within the adobe acrobat settings????
    or maybe there is no way around and I need to expect this video not to look as crisp and clear after I embed it into acrobat.... as it is when viewing in premier pro, mp4, etc.????
    Any helpful information would be greatly appreciated.
    Someone Im sure is taking theri exported premier files and embedding them to create pdf files? Would love to hear if anyone has encountered this issue.
    Thanks so much in advance for any help offered.

    Hi Dave,
    I just completed a test and comparison between the two PDF's,
    compared the file as you suggested with the floating option and changing setting to actual size of the original premier pro / mp4 file size and
    the old pdf that did not utilize the floating and file size option.
    I do notice a slight difference. The PDF with the floating window with the match of the media clips original dimensions appears to be crisper.
    I will be having the final pdf document set utilizing this method for the embeded mp4 movie and hope that the department doing this (next stage of this job) will agree that this is better to use your steps to embed all the video files into a pdf.
    Thanks so much for your time.
    Hope you had a happy holiday, and hope you have a very happy and healthy new year.
    Thanks, Amy

  • View BO PDF files in iPad

    Hi experts,
    we have uploaded some PDF files in our SAP BO. If we log on to BO portal in our iPads, we cannot view them with Safari nor Chrome (it only displays first page, but you are not able to scroll to the other pages).
    Is it possible to access and view them?
    Mayb with BO Mobile Document?
    Thank you!
    I.

    Hi Ignasi,
    It is a limitation due to BOE agnostic viewer not supporting mobile device browsers.
    Hence it does not work today even in SAP BusinessObjects Mobile.
    However, this capability is planned to be provided with next release version of MOBI (Tentative availability after Q2 2015)
    -Thanks & Regards,

  • Viewing edit PDF file on IPAD

    I added text to a pdf file, save the file and then sent it as an email attachment. I opened up the email via the IPAD but when I opened up the attached PDF, none of my added text shows up. Note: the added text does show up with I open up the same file on the PC but not on the IPAD. How can I view the same file on my IPAD that I can view on my PC?

    Try downloading the Adobe Reader app, it might work better than the default program:
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/adobe-reader/id469337564?mt=8
    If that doesn't work you might want to try GoodReader, which is pretty much my go-to app for PDF management:

  • Problems with fast web view and really large PDF files.

    If "allow speculative downloads in background" is set then the Fast Web view becomes nonfunctional.  Reader is makeing the HTTP Byte range requests but will ask for almost the entire PDF file in one range (180 MB of the 182 MB file).
    If "allow speculative downloads in background" is not set then Fast Web view is working fine, Reader is making more HTTP Byte range requests but the larges ones are still small 20K or so.
    Is this behavior being experianced by anyone else?
    What are the disadvantages, if any, of having "allow speculative downloads in background" turned off?
    My environment:
    182 MB pdf file (Optimized) around 41,000 pages.  I have also seen this with 42 MB and 25 MB pdf files.
    IE 6
    Reader 9.2
    Apache webservers (On Solaris Apache 1.3.20 and Linux Apache 2.0)
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    The signing tool use Capicom (Library from .NET) to generate attached digital signature. I also tried signing with .net class SignedCms but the result is the same. What I don't understand is why some PDFs are working and others are not.
    For example, I uploaded here a signed PDF which can be opened up succesfully: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/104591126/PDFs/Signed_Dummy1.pdf  (it is the same PDF but I didn't enable the fast web view)
    Can you suggest other signing method?
    Thank you.
