Hello, so I have certification books etc and I would like to be able to read them in the iphone.
I know in emails you can read pdf attachments, but that seems to stall the phone with a pdf that large.
Is there any way to copy a pdf to the phone hard drive and launch a program that opens it up?
If someone could provide me with a step by step, or a link to one I would appreciate it.
There doesn't seem to be a straight forward answer out there, and the app store, seems to have a ereader, but I read you can't open up books you have with it.
Thanks in advance.

Have a look at FileMagnet. Great app for the iPhone/iPod touch.

i had this problem just now, but for anyones future reference, you can download stanza which has a seperate desktop app. which allows sync with your computer (where PDF's are) to the iphone. Within a few mins. you got PDF books nicely loaded in Stanza. FTW

My understanding is that the Stanza desktop converts PDFs to a different format and does not convert images. I've also read that it does not handle fonts well either.

You can also convert PDF’s to EPUB’s at Epub2Go.com (http://Epub2go.com).
The free web site will also automatically transfer them to your iPhone (via an e-mail link).
You must have Stanza on your iPhone (which is a great eBook reader).
One of the advantages is that EPUB's are a lot smaller than PDF's
Full Disclosure: My company created it! 8-)
