Thanks from a current iPad hater - help me make it not so.

Go to the App Store and download the FREE Adobe Reader application.
Use Safari to navigate to the .pdf file you want to save. When you click on the hyperlink, the document will open in a separate tab. As soon as it loads, you will see two black buttons in the upper, right-hand corner of the screen. Depending on what other apps you have installed, the first will say Open in "Adobe Reader" and the second will say Open in...
If your first is Adobe Reader, great. If not, choose the second, and it will drop down a box with icons representing all the apps you have installed that might open a .pdf. Choose Open in Adobe Reader from that box.
Of course, you probably won't be quick enough to make the choice before those black buttons disappear. Simply touch the screen anywhere on the page, and they'll reappear.
Once you have the document in the Adobe Reader App, you can rename it, organize documents into folders, etc.
As MD11Fr8Dog explained in his second post, you can also "move" documents from the AirWatch SCL (FOM, airplane manuals, etc.) to the Adobe Reader by using the Open Into option. That will be particularly helpful if you want to save a copy of FOM Revision 50 when Revision 51 comes out. The old stuff will be removed from the SCL (Secure Content Locker), but it will remain where it is if you have opened it with Adobe Reader.
Yeah, this stuff is so intuitive, I don't know why I didn't change years ago.
Funny, it always seems the people asking computer questions are asking how to do something with an Apple product.
Speaking of which, I have a question of my own. How can I use Company webmail on the iPad to attach a file? When I try to attach a file, there's no way to navigate to find the file I want to attach.
