Syncing Files

Is there no option to add PDFs and such in iTunes?

I have MyPDFs installed. Whenever I try to put a pdf on it it just says it cannot be played on this.

Use Dropbox.
https://www.dropbox.com/

Download the free app too, and you get 2gb for free as well.

I can't use Dropbox away from my network though can I?

Alright, I realize there are 3rd party apps, but I thought you could sync in iTunes?

I thought the rumor was it was going to mount some sort of "drive" to your computer.

Anything there?

If you go to the iPad specifications page, you'll notice the only mention of PDF support is through email:

As above you should see a drive mounted like when you pop an sd card in. Drag your files to this.

No, nothing mounts. On the MyPDFs app it says to copy PDFs over using iTunes.
