Home iPad Tips iPad 2: How To Easily Send Email Attachment On iPad
Author:

When you have documents such as PDF or an office document how can you send it as an email attachment on the iPad 2?

The iPad 2 gives you an ability to easily attach photo to the email, but when it comes to other file type it is not so easy. After some research, currently the best way to send other documents is to do it with the GoodReader App.

With GoodReader on your iPad/iPhone it gives you the power to easily manage your files on the device and you can read virtually anything, anywhere: books, movies, maps, pictures. Use it once and you’ll be hooked. If you work with documents, soon you'll be wondering how you ever managed to use your iPad or iPhone without GoodReader.

Once you have got the GoodReader app you can easily view any files, synchronise and transfer file between the device and the computer, manage file and send email.

There is also another app called ReaddleDocs which can manage file, read pdf with annotations, provides Air Print, transfer file between DropBox, iDisk and WebDAV, text search in PDF files and save email attachments. But I think it is no where close to the Good Reader app which has heaps more functionalities.

Here's how you can start to attach files to the email:

1. Download and install the GoodReader app onto your iPad.

2. Open up the GoodReader app, then under My Documents select one or more files you want to send as an attachment.

3. Then on the right hand side panel tap on the E-mail button.

4. Next Fill in the email details such as the To address, subject and the message detail.

5. Once you are ready then you can Send the email.

    Hi Gerrit, we don't carry out any transaction, and we don't deduct any money. If you have bought something and it doesn't work please contact the provider for support.

  • Laobhán  - Finding PDF files on iPad 2 to send as attachment
    Hi I downloaded the app but can't seem to be able to locate my PDF files in order to send them via email using goodreader. The files are currently in iBooks section on iPad. Do I need to transfer them into another directory/file? If yes, how do I do that?

    Thanks in anticipation of an early response

    I find it an insult to my intelligence to have a device of the 2011 that can't do email attachments I used to do on in 1996 on a 486 machine. Whichever for-sale app makes up for that is not of my concern. This machine is simply dumb to not have such basic function included. :pirate:

    I also was baffled that ipad could not automatically send email. I downloaded free iDoc expert app and it works a treat. When you click to email it works within your email account I.e. it picks up stored email addresses. Super. Thanks

    Just bought the IPad 2 still working through what should seem to be lame problems at best! Read various thoughts for apps to simply attach something to an email! Seriously! And how is it that in "Messages" some contacts with the very same engine, yahoo, etc. can sent and others cannot when they are all structured the same?

    Sign, going to pull my hair out! Please help me with these 2 issues. Thanks
