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.

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.

I have an amazingly easy solution / tweak

- It will open up the Share Sheet
- Tap Print
- Pinch to zoom that file to preview

Or if you want to use app Documents by Readdle allows you to preview Ai files !!

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

Hey there WitoldW. Can you please provide a little more detail in your answer? In order to "Export the AI document from Photoshop", you have to open the AI file in Photoshop first... are there any options that are going to pop up if the user tries to File > Open > filename.ai ? What does "export as link file" mean? It's best assume the person asking the the question (and anyone who comes across it later) is a beginner. Clear, step-by-step instructions are great!

Does Skala work with Illustrator too? I thought it is only for Photoshop …

No, it is not very compatible. For instance, I have tested it, and my .ai file has several art boards but only the first one is previewed...

BUT, it is very handy to design one screen! I like it! When I save, it automatically updates the image displayed in the iPad! Great!

Yes, Skala Preview can send AI and PDF files, but just the first artboard or page. However, you can reorder the artboards in Illustrator to send any artboard.
