Will Apple Camera Connector Kit Import .PDF files?

Will Apple Camera Connector Kit Import .PDF files? I need to import large (60MB plus) .PDF files created in Powerpoint to my iPad. They are too large to be practical for e-mail.

Found the button, but this only a one-by-one copy, not an entire folder. Mmmm... not really satisfying.

You can do what you want by using the more advanced method recommended in the GoodReader Help.

Set up a new entry in Network Places. Then create whatever folders you want in it. On your desktop, copy photos to that folder. They will be synced to your iPad. Here's an illustration:

2 Questions..

1. Other then goodreader, what other Apps allow exporting of file to the photo album?

2. I find it weird that such a function is possible and allowed by Apple..
a) Consider this, a user transfer a picture to iPad via goodreader, and adds it to the photo album. Subsequently, he sync it with iTunes. As that picture is not inside any of the specified sync folder in iTunes, wouldn't the photo gets deleted during the Sync? If it gets deleted, then isn't it an issue for users who use goodreader to transfer pictures?
b) Pictures that are in photoalbum via Sync are "optimised for iPad", meaning they are modified. If the pictures are exported to photo album not via iTunes, there is a chance that it may not display well by the photo album (e.g. 5MP pictures), and may lag during display or slideshow. Isn't this a concern for Apple as the performance of the photo album maybe perceived to be degraded?

Any comments?

I'm always transferring PI C&S and vdo's to my fellow classmates using the CCK, which takes a while since I can only do it one iPad at a time. So has any tried attaching a CCK to a powered USB hub using a female 30 pin cable? Would I then be able to hook up multiple iPads to the powered hub?
