I learned this from http://blog.objectgraph.com/index.php/2010/06/14/ipad-sdk-3-2-document-support-1/

and if you want to add your own filetypes read http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2774343/how-do-i-associate-file-types-with-an-iphone-application

Answer 2

I recently implemented something like this with the help of a book called Beginning iPad Development for iPhone Developers Chapter 10 covers this topic in great detail ... better than anything I could find online.

One of the authors, Jack Nutting, was even nice enough to help me get something working after I emailed him. Good stuff.
