PDF files on a Touch?
Hi all,

is it possible to load and read PDF files on an iPod Touch? i have a couple of books in pdf format and would rather not sit at the computer to read them,

Thanks for any help!,

I'm pretty sure you'll need to jailbreak it if you want to use an application off-line to read them. Otherwise, if you upload the PDF to some web space, and simply surf to it with Safari, the iPod will be able to view the PDF.

You can also view them as attachments to emails I think - so you may be able to make a folder in your email account, then send emails to yourself with PDFs attached. You should be able to view them offline that way.

You can read files online using Readdle — iPhone book reader and file storage
You can also read files offline, as long as they are less than 100k.
I have used it and it works well.
