Would it be difficult to set up an intranet so that I can view PDF files that reside on my computer using my iPad?
The iPad doesn't have a file explorer.

once installed every pdf when downloaded will be saved in the default pdf files location.

On an Android device, Google Drive would probably be the application of choice. It syncs the contents of an identified folder on your PC with a corresponding folder on your Android device. It's the way I manage things like PDF equipment manuals so that I can consult them in the field via my phone when necessary.
sorry misunderstood your question.

Dropbox is what does it for me!
