copy file from macbook pro to ipad

it used to be so easy! i could just click the plus or minus sign to add or delete files.


not any more. so frustrated. followed instructions to drag files into acrobat. i can see them listed when i look at the finder window/ipad. so then i sync.


but they're not showing up on my ipad. obviously i'm missing something


what else do i have to do?

PDFs could go anywhere.

Have you checked the Files app?

The iOS Notes app?


What about AirDropping then from your MacBook Pro to your iPad?

well, i found them on my ipad in the FILES app (which i didn't even know was there) - but still can't see them in the acrobat app. so i moved them into acrobat - again - and it says the file already exists there and do i want to replace it...


but i still do not see the files there. incredibly frustrating - when it used to be so easy!!! what a huge waste of my time


and i appreciate your help!
