The other option is to email the files to yourself. If you have setup your email client on the iPad, you can open attachments directly in iAnnotate.
I use Outlook with an Exchange account on my PC. If you have the same exchange account on the ipad, you don't even need to email files to yourself. Just drag the file to any mail folder in Outlook (not the inbox) and it gets saved as if it was an email. On the iPad, don't single tap on the attachment but hold down for 2 seconds - an 'open with' option appears and you select iAnnotate.

Finally, in Safari, if you add an 'a' to any web address, it will try to open the page in iAnnotate - and succeed if the webpage is a PDF file. So you can open, say, an SSRN PDF directly in iAnnotate without using your PC. Weird, but it works.

Glad to hear it's working out for you.
Thanks, vxf - I've just discovered drop box and I'm HAPPY I've now exported my entire pdf library both to iAnnotate and PDF Expert and I'm loving it. I saw the email save function, too, so I'll use that for updates of just a couple of files.

I had no idea about the bit in bold - that's really smart (and yes, weird!). I'm going to check that out.

Thanks for all your help, it's been very useful
