Where does the iPad2, or for that matter, the iPhone4, store files (such as PDF) when they are downloaded to either device from a website?
iPad 2, iOS 4.3.2
Where do downloaded documents go and how can I retrieve them.

The iPad doesn't use a file system like a computer. Each app stores its own data files. If you send a PDF file from a computer, or download it from Dropbox (or other locations), the file always goes to one app on the iPad. That app then stores it "within itself". If you open an app, select a file, then "open in" some other app, than a copy of the file is sent to the second app which also stores is within itself.
Open the iBooks window. In the top menu, click on Collections. A window will open where you can select Books or PDFs. The selected type of files will then be displayed in the bookcase.

I have the iPad 1 and that stores PDF files from emails etc in iBooks
iBooks sections into books and also PDF,s
If you've downloaded documents via Safari on your iPad, and not specified an app on your iPad to save to them into when downloading them, then they are only in Safari's cache and not accessible
where do downloaded files(pdf) go on the ipad?
