Any way to show PDFs on iPhone?

[james-bailey]

I have a fair few PDF files that would be great stored on my iPhone for quick reference. I put them into a folder and syncronised with iTunes but the folder isnt showing. I have done this method for jpegs previously and worked great, I guess its not possible for PDF files?

Download iBooks and drag the files to your iPhone.

You can view them in iBooks. You'd probably have to email them to yourself or use Dropbox to get them on the phone.

Not in iBooks, at least yet.

You can also download the Adobe Acrobat Reader app.

You can also download the Adobe Acrobat Reader app.

Can you actually create folders to categorize your .pdf's into named folders with the Adobe Acrobat Reader app? I didn't see a way to do it, they just seem to all be listed under "Documents." So I downloaded PDF Reader.

That definitely allows you to do it. It also has features such as WiFi Sharing, Browser Download and Cloud Storage. Cloud Storage works with Box.net, iDisk, Dropbox, Google Docs, FTP and WebDAV. You can specify names for new folders, and you can move and paste downloaded .pdf's into whatever folder you like.

It isn't free, but only $1.99 for the iPhone edition, $4.99 for the iPad edition. It is a nice little app.

Goodreader is a full featured reading and markup app that can read a large variety of formats, store documents locally, or on various cloud services like iCloud and Dropbox. Its well worth the $5.
