Can I read normal PDF files on iPad?
I have many documents and ebooks in PDF. Can I read them easily on iPad?
I heard about the Digital Rights Management (DRM) and was wondering if it prevents iPad from reading my own PDFs.
Thank you.
The iPad just works like iPhone, it can read PDF document when you open it through your mail box. Just check out “mail attachment support” in the middle of the official page below and you can see all formats supported by the iPad:

But to read PDF file I’ll suggest to go for the Amazon Kindle instead, its screen is much suitable for reading. I’ve given a detailed comparison between the iPad and the Kindle, in a previous answer here. Guess you’ll be interested:
