| I just mailed myself the instruction manual for my new camera as a pdf, Julie. I opened the mail, then the attachment (the camera manual) and then when it was open, I tapped on the little curved arrow at the right top of the display. A drop-down window gave me about seven possibilities to open it in various apps. Included were Evernote, Stanza, Docs to Go, and iBooks, so I tapped on iBooks. Now the camera manual is on the "shelf" of iBooks, and I can access it whenever I want. Very cool! I don't see why that wouldn't work with your quilting patterns. If I understand your post correctly, you are just missing one step. I think you can open the attached pdf in your e-mail program, but you aren't choosing an app to save it to that will allow you to open it whenever you want, apart from your mail program. Hope this helps. Carlee, also with an iPad attached to her hip, and also a quilter, albeit taking a break -------Original Message------- I am using Outlook on my laptop to send quilting pattern pdf files to my iPad 2. I attach pdf files to my email and then send it. When I open this email on my laptop it shows the pdf as an attached pdf. When I open them on my iPad the pdf is shown as part of the email and I can't open it in iBooks because it is just part of the email. Does anybody know why this happens? I love having my quilting patterns on my iPad. My iPad and me are joined at the hip, so to speak, and if I happen to go to a quilt shop and find a fabric that I really love, I just pull out my iPad, look at the patterns, decide which one I want to do, and I know exactly how much fabric I need to do it. It's awesome! Now, if I could just get all my pattern pdf's into my iPad . . . . . ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
