   | I thought Apple gave ever use 5GB of online storage similar to OneDrive

   | app on your iPad, and use the cloud storage for the .pdf file.   
      
     Yes, thanks, but I don't use Cloud and don't   
   especially want to. I could also possibly install   
   a program. Or it could be emailed.   
     But what I'd prefer is to move the file from a   
   PC and then find it on the iPad. I have the cable   
   to do it. But the iPad doesn't seem to see Windows,   
   there's no recognizable file system, and an app I   
   tried called "File Explorer" seems to be pretty much   
   useless.   
      
     The second choice is to read the PDF on a Windows   
   laptop, but the preference was the iPad. I know they're   
   designed to be limited "consumption" devices but I'm   
   surprised that I can't just copy a file over. What I haven't   
   tried is to put a USB stick on the other end of the cable,   
   but I'm not sure I have the male/female USB cord I'd need   
   for that. And I still don't know how I'd find it on the iPad.   
   The system itself seems to be locked out. The only   
   screen icons are for apps.
