The simple version
Phones hide useful actions behind small buttons and menus. Sending a PDF is usually about finding the share icon, choosing the app you want, and checking the file name before you send it.
Try this
- Open the PDF on your phone
- Tap the share icon, usually a box with an arrow
- Choose Email, Messages, or the app you need
If this feels confusing, that’s normal.
