![]() IOS has another limitation: it cannot handle certain PDF files created by the "export as PDF" function of Safari on the iMac. This is a significant limitation and limits usefulness of the iPad for me. IOS is designed so that file access is available only within apps. In IOS, you must go through a multi-step work-around just to save a web page as a PDF file - PITA. That is possible using Safari on the Mac, but not in IOS. I would like to be able to convert the contents of a web site on Safari in IOS to a PDF file and store the file directly into the iPad's memory, accessible by an app of my choice - iBooks, Dropbox, Documents by Readdle, etc. ![]() ĭropbox with local storage for designated individual files is OK, but file access equivalent to that in Mac OSX would be better, and useful to many of us. Examples - no internet on airplane flights, on car trips (not driving of course), at my 90 y/o mother's home, waiting room at doctor's office, on my own patio where wi-fi doesn't reach. ![]() There are many occasions when internet access is not available, or when your cellular data allotment is limited. I like to save these articles as PDF files for later reading. For example, there excellent tutorials and "how to" articles available on web sites such as 9to5 Mac, Tuts+, AppleInsider, etc. It's true that storage capacity is limited, but many of us have adequate memory (64GB for me) and would like to store files locally - in my case, PDF files or notes for reading. Due respect, we were discussing local storage on iPads.
