Not sure about the max file size. But for displaying .doc and .pdf (and a few more) will work fine. The easiest way yo display document is using a UIWebView. The UIWebView will allow you to display a wide array of filetypes, including .doc and .pdf. For more information on supported types check out this document.

There is also the QuickLook framework that has a few more bells and whistles for displaying documents your app don't support internally.
