Almost OT - I need help with iPad

I'm trying to add the manuals for my camera and my flashes to my iOS7
iPad as PDF files. I am having no luck whatsoever. Judging by Google
results, I am far from alone with this.

I've got the files into the iTunes library on my computer, but there
they sit. What do I do to get them into the iPad?

I just did an online search for "ipad (whatever #, or type) manual".
Navigate to the site in Safari, tap on the main PDF window you will see
an option to select the app you want to use to open the PDF. I use
iBooks.

The iPad manual is usually iOS specific, I use iOS7 on my biPhone and
iOS6 on my iPad, so here is how it is presented on my iPad.

To be clear those are the PDF manuals for my D300s, my G11, SB-800
flash, and some others. It is also worth noting that Apple places the
iPad/iPhone manuals in with books and all other PDF among PDFs, you
switch between the two options with the collections button.

I've been there, done that, but there are no PDFs in the PDF
collection. That is my problem.

I wouldn't use iTunes for that - just install DropBox and the manuals
will be available on /any/ device with DropBox installed.

itunes is by far the preferred choice, but dropbox can work.

Why not make copies of the needed parts ans keep them in your pocket?

Reverse ‘a’ and ‘r’
Remove ‘l’ to get address.

because a *lot* more can live on an ipad, and a lot easier to use too.

My ipad is too big to go in my outfit case or any of my pockets.
