I like this idea better "If my Wolfhound doesn't do it, I won't do it!"

When I first plugged in the iPad 2 into my computer it didn't charge too. I still couldn't understand why but anyway I found the solution for it. Just install this software and your iPad will be charged when connecting to your computer: ASUS Ai Charger - Quick charge your iPod, iPhone and even iPad!
Sorry that I can't help with Adobe app issue. I mostly use Dropbox to sync my PDFs, and I prefer PDF Max free than Adobe Reader, since I found AR renders files very slowly.
I don't know about long term use with this app. Batteries are a strange chemistry things and you should stay between the lines to get the most out your IPAD Battery. I had an old HP laptop charger which I used on my newer HP and it killed the battery in six months! I mean dead, no charge at all. After some research I found that laptop charger come in all sorts of amperage and charging voltages.
I have the same Not Charging issue. on my windows laptop. But work fine on my new Macbook with USB 3. I have also discover that off brand charging cables will do the same thing. There is a reason why the apple chargers are thicker. My2C.
The iPad needs a charger to provides 5V and 2.1A (i.e, it needs a 10Watt charger). You can't get this from a standard usb port. The battery in the iPad 3 is way larger in capacity than that of an iPhone, so if you were to charge it on a computer USB port it would take forever (and this forever is much, much longer than the forever it takes to charge the iPad 3 with the charger it came with). Actually, a usb port will charge the iPad 3, but very, very slowly. Best to use the 10W charger it came with.
Also, beware of that software linked in post #3. It causes all kind of problems on my PC, and I have a recently model Asus motherboard.
