How do you send a file through iMessages

On my mac I can drag a file over to imessages, I can even download it on another id on the mac. I have tried to send the same file to my iphone and ipad and nada.


Yet, I have no problem with pictures.

Mac OS X (10.6), original os was osx 10.x now ML

Yes, that works from mac to mac. That is a wonderful feature.


I did find Apple's list of supported files and it is not complete. It did not list PDF as a supported file so I suspect there are others. I am afraid that epub and some others that would make life easier are not supported at this time. I did find reference to where the file i on the ipad but you have to jailbreak your iphone and/or ipad to do that and I am not interested in doing that.
