Downloading premium content (PDFs) to an iPad

 Is there a way to download the PDFs in premium content directly to an iPad?

 

I have downloaded them to my computer in the past, and from there to the iPad, but this seems a bit clumsy (especially as since I bought an iPad I hardly ever use the home computer!).

 

There has to be a better way, I just can't find it!

I've found that all the Premium Content PDFs automatically show up in iBooks on my iPad.  This is a great thing (unless you're using the current Apple Podcast app, which gets really bogged down).
Just make sure you're subscribed to the Manager Tools/Career Tools Premium Content feeds in iTunes.
Feel free to PM me if you'd like to walk through iTunes settings.
Good luck!
Steve

 When I search for Manager Tools in podcasts on iTunes on my IPad, I don't find any of the premium content. Clicking on the iTunes link (a button) on this page - http://manager-tools.com/available-rss-feeds - I get a message saying "Safari can't open the Page because the address is invalid".
There is probably something incredibly straightforward that I am missing - any ideas?
This content is perfect for IPad.

Do you have iTunes installed on your computer? The URL of that button is designed to invoke iTunes (NOT Safari) and load the documents feed into iTunes. Opening the link in Safari will, I'm sure, cause a problem.

 I can download to my computer; that is not the issue. I was hoping there was a shortcut that might enable me to bypass the computer and just download directly to the iPad. It's fine for other podcasts, but I just can't find the premium content ones on the iTunes store on the iPad. 
 
My home computer doesn't get much use these days!

 Please consider to use podcast app. There are probably many of them, I am using Downcast. If you will try other ones please make sure that they allow subscription of password protected casts.
This way works for me really well, and I am more than happy being released from using iTunes.
By the way - it would be really great to have in the RSS stream also recording of conference calls. You guys, you are really amazing, and I miss the recording because it brought great answers to our questions.

Make sure that you always have iTubnes, as this one will help you all througout the process.
