[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1745280, member: 71075"] iOS doesn't let you work with arbitrary files in quite the same way a computer would (and Android to a large extent). Files can usually only be downloaded if they can then be opened elsewhere. In this sense, files can only be "downloaded" if there is a suitable app to do something with it. However, you can work around this by using a cloud based file sharing service such as Dropbox or OneDrive. In each case, you could "download the file" on your iPad and simply share it with the cloud storage app which would then sync that file with your Mac. Now, that depends on you having an internet connection available so that may not be reasonable. [/QUOTE]
