Importing pages docs in iPad pages app

I have an iPad 64gig 3G.
On my iDisk i uploaded my pages docs and my older word docs so that i can open them in the pages app on my iPad.
With the pages docs i only get the option " open with goodreader?" in the iDisk app.
With the word docs i do get the option " open with pages or with goodreader".
How is this possible and more important, how do i change this?
Thanks.

Were the Pages documents created on a computer? If yes what version of Pages was used to create them? Some people here have posted that the iPad Pages is only compatible with iWorks 09 (includes Pages).

If you have the document on ur computer, and want to open it in pages on ur iPad, u can just connect the iPad to iTunes and go to "apps", and then scroll down and choose "Pages". here u r going to press "add" in the bottom right corner and then u just choose ur document. when it´s done syncing, go to pages in iPad and press the "+" button and then press the iTunes button and here u get a choice, which document u want to import to the app, and there you have the document in pages on ur iPad.

I have no idea why you can´t open the document from idisk, but maybe try to reboot will work 🙂

hope it helped 🙂

I just found out that u can go to the pages app on the iPad and add documents from iDisk. To do this press "+", and than choose the iDisk icon, and then, all u have to do is to sign in on ur mobileme account. 🙂
