I have some travel pdfs that i'd like to access on my iPhone 4. Is there a way to put them directly onto newsstand, without having to download iBooks (and use up valuable space)?
Thanks!
iPhone 4, iOS 6.1.3
Get a free online storage account (box.net, dropbox, sugarsync, google drive or whichever of the dozens of free offerings you like - I use box.net most of the time and it works well). Then, put your PDF files up on the cloud storage account and only download the one or ones you need at any given time. You can limit your transfers to only when you have a free wifi hotspot available. That will minimize how much space you need to use for PDF document storage.
As others mentioned, you have to load a PDF into an app to even see it - iBook if you like, or any of the dozens of PDF reader and editing apps available in the app store (Adobe Reader is available there, and is free).
Hi riakaruda,
Not sure what you are asking. Newsstand is an app for digital versions of newspapers and magazines. PDF documents must be housed in iBooks. Even if you could put them on Newsstand, it wouldn't change the fact that it was a document on your iPhone, and would take up room.....

iBooks uses 43 MB of storage space, plus whatever your PDFs take up.
Alternately, you can install Acrobat Reader from the App Store and use that to view PDFs. It takes up 16MB. But you will need iTunes to transfer the PDFs to it.
You must have a very piddly iPhone to be scrounging every last byte like that.

You should still be able to email the PDFs to the iPad and use Mail's Open In function to open the PDFs in the Acrobat Reader. I use PDF Expert and that's how I transfer most of my PDFs. I rarely connect my iPad to my computer.
Is there a way to put a pdf on newsstand without using iBook?
