How to get large pdf file onto my iPad

[Jamz00]

I have a service manual for my car I want to use in iBooks but I don't know how to get it onto my iPad. I tried emailing it to myself but the file is way too big. What else can I do? I guess I could try hosting it on mediafire or something.

This doesn't seem to be working. Everytime I try to open the file in iBooks safari crashes. I only have an iPad 1 so maybe there's not enough RAM.

have you tried an alternative app such as Goodreader?

Have you tried Dropbox? It's a free cloud storage option. There's even a native iPad app for it. Here's a link to it that's also my referral link. We'll both get extra storage if you use it.

How is Safari crashing when you're viewing it in iBooks?

Drag the file into the books section of iTunes and then add it to your iPad.

I completely forgot you could do that.

Yeah. I do to and when I get a new PDF that I want to add to my iPad, I spend about 10 minutes trying to figure it out again. But it is definitely the easiest way to do it as of now.

Drag the file into the books section of iTunes and then add it to your iPad.

Or skip that step entirely and drag the .pdf file directly onto the iPad icon on the left side of the iTunes window.
