How to transfer PDFs from Ipad "not purchased from ITunes"

Hi all and thanks for taking the time to read this.

All I want to do is get my PDF files downloaded from the web from iBooks on my ipad to iBooks on my iPhone.

Because they are not Purchased from ITunes ,this seems to be a real problem.

I tend to download instruction manuals for my TV, washing machine, Surround Sound system, car stereo....you get the idea... To my ipad in iBooks.

All I want to do is put them on my iPhone in ibooks too.

Everything I have found on the web covers PDFs downloaded from iTunes, using Transfer Purchases etc. surely they cant be stuck in one place because they were free downloads.

Any help greatly appreciated.

iPod classic, Windows XP Pro, Windows XP PC running latest itunes

Hi all,

I'm still looking for the solution to this but in the mean time I have a workaround which others may find useful.

When you first view the , say instruction manual for whatever in PDF form, when asked to 'open in', go for Dropbox, then from there open it in iBooks,

At least this way it starts its life in a common saved place so you can then access it on your other apple devices.
