Digital Basics
Send a PDF from Your Phone
PDFs on phones usually live in Files, Downloads, email attachments, cloud drives, or a scanning app.
Find the PDF
Open the Files app, Downloads folder, email app, or cloud drive where the PDF was saved.
- Search by file name if you know it.
- Look under recent files.
- Open the PDF to confirm it is the right one.
Send or attach it
Use the share button or attach button depending on the app.
- Tap Share or Attach.
- Choose Mail, Messages, or the app you need.
- Confirm the PDF appears before sending.
Try this: On a phone, the share button often does the same job as attach.
Final takeaway: Find the PDF, preview it, attach it, and confirm before sending.
