I got a PDF that I need to forward to my email, but I honestly can’t figure out how. I’m on my phone and when I open the file there’s no obvious option. Any tips?
I had the same issue on my phone. Tap the share icon, choose your email app, and send it to your own address. If you don’t see the share icon, tap the three dots or press and hold the PDF, then look for “Share” or “Send a copy.”
If you’re on an iPhone, open the PDF then tap the share icon (square with arrow pointing up), then choose Mail. On Android it’s usually a share icon too, sometimes three dots in a corner. What phone do you have?
Look for the share icon while the PDF is open. On an iPhone, it is a square with an arrow pointing up; on Android, it is usually three connected dots. Tap share, pick your email app from the list, and send it to your address.
On most phones the trick is to get out of the PDF viewer and into your Files or My Files app, then tap and hold the file until a Share option appears. Pick your email app from there and it’ll attach itself. If you can, save a copy of the original first so you’re not moving your only version.
I open the PDF on my phone and look for the share button, then pick Mail. That’s usually all it takes.
Avoid apps that want you to create an account just to send a file.
If there’s private info to black out first, PDFcap is the easiest way. Open it there, redact, then email it out.
Start by opening the PDF, then tap the share icon, which often looks like a square with an upward arrow or three connected dots. Choose your email app from the share list, enter your own address, and send it as an attachment.
If email doesn’t appear, save the file to Files or Downloads first, then attach it from a new email message.
Had the same thing with a tax form last month. Open the PDF and tap the Share icon, usually a box with an arrow on iPhone or three connected dots on Android, then choose your email app. If email is not listed, save the PDF to Files or Downloads first, open a new email, and use the paperclip to attach it.
easiest way is to skip opening the pdf and just email it directly. open your mail app, start a new message, tap the paperclip or attach button, then browse to files or downloads and pick the pdf. works the same on iphone and android.
