iCloud and PDF`s

[oldscribe]

Hi all,

This may be a really dumb question but I am stumped.
Is there any way to save and view PDF files to iCloud other that using Preview or notes? Which I use at present.
Much help appreciated.

Mail?
What are you trying to do?

Hi Kaveman,

I tend to save all my flight information as PDF`s because I find iCloud very useful regarding accessing these files on multiple Mac`s, MBP or Macbook depending which I have with me.
For some reason I thought that Apple were addressing the PDF + iCloud area with Mavericks.

I agree iCloud is great, but it's not a storage space, and it's documents in the cloud focus is on documents that can be edited on all devices.
PDF's are not editable.

What you could try is dropping them into a Pages iCloud document and seeing if that opens on the other devices???

Why did I not think of that Yep works perfectly and the docs can be seen on iPhone and iPad.
Thanks Kaveman

Have created a new pages folder in iCloud and transferred these new docs (20 odd) to it.
