I'm really not an IT buff at all.

I have a PDF file that I want to read on my IPad.

The file shows up in Books on Itunes but when I sync it to my IPad it doesn't show up in IBooks.

I tried resycing with it not selected and then with and I did get messages that seemed to indicate that it was transferring it to the IPad but I can't seem to find it.

Any ideas?

update

just as soon as I submitted this I wondered if I could search the IPad for the file and as I was in Ibooks started there. It showed up and when I selected it, it seemed to put it in the IBooks bookcase display. So all is well. It is a bit fiddly though. I would have thought that it would have gone in and be displayed with just the sync,

You can also just swipe left and right in the bookstand to swap between pdf's and books.

I use the iAnnotate PDF app for PDFs and it's brilliant. There are other readers or readers/annotators, too, which are free or very cheap like PDF Lite. I have the full version of iAnnotate so I don't know how much it costs right now.
