Though another ebook format - EPUB are used widely with many mobile devices, PDF is still the most popular ebook format. So, when Apple annouced the iPad, many people immediately imagined that it would be a superior way to read PDF books in a tablet-style format. On the Apple iPad Specs page, there is a single mention of PDF support for the iPad – as an attachment in the Mail application. Actually, there are some other ways to read PDF on iPad 2, follow me to find them and find how to view PDF files on iPad 2 efficiently.
The first way is to read PDF on iPad as an mail attachment. The iPad supports to view PDF files that are sent as attachments via email in the Mail application. To view PDF files, you just simply download the PDF attachment, click to launch, and you can view the PDF on iPad 2 now.
The second is to use Safari Web Browse which is also built in within iPad to view PDF files. Do the same as above, just click the link to a PDF file in the Safari web browse, you can read PDF on iPad within the linkage.
Tips: If you find there is a border around the pages in PDF content, just pinch and zoom in the size to hide the borders.
However, there are limitations to use the built-in ways. They cannot remember the page you viewed last time when you reopen a PDF file. And you cannot click on the clickable links in the PDF, like links in the Table of Contents. So, you’re stuck scrolling down potentially hundreds of pages to get to the location you want.
Never mind, there is another way - by iBook app. You can easily add your PDF files to iPad 2 via iTunes.
