I'll second Google Apps should do what he wants. If he's just looking for general note-taking apps, have him check out Evernote or Simplenote. I'm a fan of Evernote. He could take any kind of notes, pictures, etc., and they would sync between his iPad, his Evernote desktop app, and the Evernote website.
iAnnotate is supposed to let you mess with PDFs, but I haven't tried it: http://www.ajidev.com/iannotate/ Dropbox is great, too. Sync PDFs, docs, just about everything. It reads/displays just about every format, too, but doesn't do any editing. It will send to Pages, but Pages will not yet send docs back to Dropbox. (Pages, incidentally, will work both directions with WebDAV or iDisk if that's an option.)
