A:

Unless there is an App that's available for both platforms, you cannot transfer files to iDevices through bluetooth.

You can try something like this:

What exactly do you want to do with them paired?

iPads and for that matter other iDevices have limited Bluetooth profiles they can use. File transfer over bluetooth is not one of them.
