How can I transfer a docx. or pdf. document of microsoft word to the ipad?

Not sure about Pages and docx files (which I avoid like the plague!). There is an app called Office^2 HD at the app store which may do the trick. Then you need a shared server approach to actually transfer the file (Dropbox, iDisk of MobileMe, etc.).

Google found a review of it here:

Are you sure your posting this in the appropriate forum? you mention "Pages 09", but this is the iPad pages forum. (I know the link above does not say "IPad", but it is).

If this is on iPad:
Word doesn't open pdf files, only outputs them. Use Goodreader on the ipad to read any pdfs, or other pdf reader that is free.

I just tried opening a docx file on my iPad and it opened fine in Pages. Just had to replace a font that wasn't on the iPad that I apparenlty had used on the document.

If not on iPad:
Desktop Pages opens docx files fine, it did it before MS published the Mac version that saved as docx.

PDF's should open in Preview.
