Apple has been notorious for making it hard to load files onto their iOS 
devices.  Recently in iOS 4 they've provided for it through iTunes, but 
it's still very clunky.  For PDFs I use GoodReader which makes it 
somewhat easy to load files wirelessly and whose claim to fame is that 
it supports very large PDFs without crashing.
