Yes, saving all “to read” PDFs to a separate folder and moving them out after 
reading (perhaps this could be done automatically by BibDesk depending on what 
smart folders/keywords/or the read checkbox status are) and sync that folder 
via dropbox across Mac and iPad could make this manual process slightly bit 
automated.

Best wishes
