    Hi. I have 3 PDF files on my computer and need to put them on my iPhone 4 so I can read them.

    Does anybody know if this is possible and the easiest way possible?

    Cheers.

    drunkmonkey - Do you mean send them to my email address and look at the email on my phone?

    thekooman - Can I use that to transfer the file to my iphone from my pc?

    Doyler. The iPhone can read PDF's so if you email them you yourself then open that email on the iPhone you can read the attachment. Alternatively, use one of the above apps.

    Or you could take a look at Airsharing.
    Very handy little app.

    When you open them in the email app you are given the choice of sending the PDF to the iBooks app (if you have it) or any other PDF reader (like GoodReader)

    Alternatively the likes of GoodReader can download a pdf from the web if you give it the address.

    I don't like iBooks as a PDF reader: if you zoom in to read a page, then swipe to the next page, you're zoomed back out again. Dropbox lets you stay zoomed in and read the PDF in "continuous" mode. For reading books, however, I prefer to make ePub files in Calibre and import them in to iTunes then send them to the iPod Touch.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Dropbox is great....
    Install the Desktop software, create your login and drop in files to the designated folder. this syncs to the "cloud".
    on your ipad/iphone, install the Dropbox app, login with your details and it syncs your files. all free up to 2gb, i think.
