I am designing screens for an app for iPad. I would like to easily preview my artboards on my iPad.

My method to do that is:


export the .ai document to a .pdf document
copy the .pdf file to my "books" in iTunes
then, open this new .pdf file with the books app on my iPad


Is there a more clever way than what I an doing right now?



EDIT: The resason I want to preview is to compare 2 ou more screens. A good point in the process I use in that with a swipe I can compare two artboards.

Export the .ai document in PhotoShop as a link file
Use Adobe Preview CC to view your file directly in your iPad

I've been using an app called iDraw from the app store. It let's me open .AI files directly on my iPad and I can connect it to my dropbox. So I save the file on my computer in my dropbox and then I can easily open it on my iPad almost immediately.

Here's a couple screenshots of the iDraw app:





Also, you may want to try this app called Astropad. It lets you use your iPad as second screen and also a drawing tablet with Illustrator. It has no lag and works great. Plus you can try it for free.

Download iTools or similar software to manage your iPad Device albums.
Then you can export your work to .jpg and import to your device.

Skala is a great free app that mirrors your screen on to mobile devices. It can link directly to photoshop and also send over JPGs and clipboard.
