I know it's been asked in this group before, but is there any place
where you can download the current IAP's by state as a pdf file?
thanks

Not as a single PDF file (that I know of), but they're available here:

MyAirplane.com offers IAPs by airport as a PDF file:
http://www.myairplane.com/databases/approach/index.php
AOPA provides a method to batch IAPs into one ZIP file with separate PDF
files within but the last time I checked (last week), the IAPs were scanned
images rather than the very high quality vector image or whatever they call
the type that both the NACO link (previous post) and MyAirplane.com offer.

I just ordered and installed SmartPlates. It Rocks! Great user
interface, quick downloads, good software. No subscription fee. I got
tired of downloading and printing everything I could find from NACO,
then finding out in flight that I missed an approach for BFE that I'd
really like to look at. http://www.seattleavionics.com/sp_default.shtml

I knew about smartplates and they sound really good. I'm almost set to
order them but I figure that as soon as I do I'll find them for free.
That's why I figured it would be a good time to ask!!

If you're willing to spend money, you might consider another option like
Sporty's ChartViewer. It is a subscription (which may not meet your
requirements) but, for about $11/mo including shipping, you get all IAPs for
all public use airports in the US (including AK, HI, PR and VI). The charts
are shipped on a single DVD in PDF format.
If you don't want the DVD, you can still use the software for free:

I used to be a Jepp subscriber, but found I can get the entire US on NACO
format for only a few dollars more than what I was paying for just the
Mid-Atlantic Jepp subscription. So far it's been worth it to me.
