Uploading saved PDF files from iPad to another website?

Having worked out how to save a PDF file into iBooks I now want to upload the saved PDF file on my iPad to another Website.

Is this possible? If so how do I do it?

Note the document I upload to the website MUST be in PDF format and NOT as a Jpeg or picture as per discussion on another thread on this site. ThankQ.

IIt's pathetic at how single minded and useless Apple iPads/iPhones are at simple tasks that all other devices are easily capable of. I have had many frustrating situations where my Apple iPad/iPhone won't work with anyone's web upload links that usually accept pdf files. Dumbs the iOS platforms down to kiddy toys for playing games/music and sharing photos instead of being a productive and useful mobile business tool.

I think that it ought to be possible that when on your iPad with a PDF file, a person ought to be able to go to their Safari website, click on Upload file and not only have available your assortment of personal photos and fun creations made using apps with your afore mentioned photos, but there should ALSO be available your stored PDF files in a nice little stash in just the exact same way all of your personal photos are stored. Perhaps entitled, instead of say Camera Roll, but like PDF or PDF File.


I am not, nor does it appear as tho the previous person are talking about movies and flash etc. we are talking about clicking Upload folder/attachment. Just the barest of essentials. We do not require Java, or uploading anything except a PDF.


We would like to do so by clicking Upload file. But no matter what fun and promising PDF App we have added to the iPad which claims it can add your emailed PDF file to it for uploading these never show our PDF document. The iPad will only show us photos.


I find quite funny the app which claims you simply have to slide your PDF from your email into the app and the app is supposed to enable you to upload to websites. So hilarious, because when you open your email you cannot see your app.


PDF Export App does appear to allow you to email. But I can simply forward my PDF from my email in the first place.

Just chiming in on this. Does anyone know if Apple has any plans to develop ability to upload PDFs to Safari? Why can iCabMobile do it, but not Safari? And I'm assuming no one here can comment on any other potential workarounds to this? OR coding that can go into the website to enable PDF uploads?


Has anyone discovered anything new since this post?


Thanks.
