Transfer files from pc to ipad without internet/WLAN without erasing everything

Question

Hi,
we have the following problem. Our  Ipad is synchronized using Itunes with a Macbook. From time to time we need to transfer a few PDF files from a PC to the Ipad. We can only use a cable here, since WLAN isn't available and files cannot be transferred through the internet.
When I tried to attach the Ipad to the PC it wanted to delete everything on it and sync with the Itunes Library on the PC.
Is there a way to transfer the files without deleting everything?
I called support but that didn't really help me.
Thanks in advance for your input.

In your case, the key is to keep your iTunes organized in the way you can perform the sync without losing data. Obviously the most efficient way would be using the internet to add isolated files. If your workplace has only wired connection, a very basic and cheap solution can be adding a USB Wireless Adapter that costs around 30 bucks. With this adapter you can create an ad-hoc network between one PC and the iPad and then get internet on it.
Another way is to use a laptop that have Ethernet adaptorand Wireless adaptor. In the same way, you can create an ad-hoc network and share your wired internet connection through the wi-fi to the iPad. You can even use your smartphone to share the internet connection. This kind of connection from smartphones are called tethering connection. The iPhone is ready to tether by USB...not sure if can tether via wifi. It should do...On the Android phones 100% sure that works. Thats what I do when I'm on pyblic transport and want to use internet on my iPad to watch some videos on the go.
With the internet connection on the iPad,you can use Dropbox to put Documents into the iPad or even use iCloud to doit.
There's many ways to do it...just choose which way you want to use.
I hope it helps.
