While on a vendors website, I opened a file of their catalog and it loaded up to my iPad to view. How do I save that download on my iPad so I can view at anytime w/o having to download again or have wifi connection to view in the future? Can you do that w/o having to hook up to a desktop and download from iTunes? (I hope, I hope)!!!
Thanks for the help!!

If the catalog is in PDF format, you can save the file within iBooks. A PDF file will have the option to "Open in iBooks" in the top right corner of the page.
There's an app out there, ReaddleDocs that has a browser included and has the ability to download files and 'send' them to other apps. Not free, but could be another option to investigate.
If it's a PDF file, then, just tap it when it's rendered in Safari. Then, tap "Open In". From there, you can send it to any third-party app (including the above-remcommended iBooks).
For example, if you send it to GoodReader or iCab Mobile, you'll be able to (later) both send it forward to other PDF-capable apps and easily access the file from your desktop computer via iTunes File Sharing.
Thanks for the info. Will try the iReader trick first. I just checked the vendor's website and the download says: web/iPad for the file description they list. When it is loaded on my PC and I try to save it a message comes up "do you want to convert with Adobe to pdf" so I don't know what format that is in.
Thanks again.
