    When you want to save a PDF to iPhone or iPad, download the PDF from the web or
    an email, then decide where to save it. Or, transfer a PDF from a Mac or Windows
    PC to your iOS device.

    Tip: These instructions might also work in third-party apps.

    02 Tap Share to open the share sheet that contains options to share and save
    files such as PDFs.

    Tip: If you don't see the Share button in Safari, scroll to the top of the
    PDF to display the menu.

    03 Select where to store the PDF.

    For example, to view the PDF in Apple Books, choose Copy to Books. Or, to
    save the PDF to a cloud storage service such as Google Drive, select Copy to
    Drive. Other cloud storage services may include iCloud Drive and Dropbox.

    Tip: Tap More if you don't see the option to save to an app that is
    installed on the device (for example, Dropbox or Google Drive). Select
    Save to Files to store the PDF in iCloud Drive.

    04 Follow the onscreen directions to complete the PDF download. For example,

    Page 3 of 19
    press Add in Files to save the PDF in one of those folders.

    Tip: If the web page you want to save to your iPhone or iPad isn't a PDF,
    convert it to PDF. Tap the Share button and choose Create PDF. Then,
    select the Share button again to select a location to save the PDF.

    How to Transfer a PDF From macOS to iOS


    Use AirDrop to wirelessly move a PDF stored on a Mac to your iPhone or iPad. The
    only requirement is that the Mac and the iPhone or iPad are on the same Wi-Fi
    network.

    01 On the Mac, open the PDF and select Share.

    Tip: The Mac has a similar share button as an iOS mobile device,
    featuring a box with an arrow pointing out of the top.

    02 Select AirDrop, then select your iOS device.

    Tip: In order for your iPhone or iPad to show up through AirDrop on your
    Mac, it must have AirDrop enabled in the settings and must not be in
    sleep/suspended mode.

    03 When you share the PDF using AirDrop, your iPhone or iPad will ask how you

    want it opened. You can choose Books, Files, or a compatible viewer or
    cloud storage option. For example, if Amazon Kindle is installed on the
    device, open the PDF in the Kindle reader.

    How to Transfer a PDF From Windows to iOS


    One way to transfer a PDF (or any file) from a Windows computer to an iPhone or
    iPad is through iCloud Drive.

    Note: iCloud isn't installed on Windows by default. Download and install


    iCloud on your Windows PC, then enable iCloud Drive on your phone or
    tablet and computer to transfer PDF files between your PC and iOS
    device.

    01 On your iPhone or iPad, go to Settings, tap your name, tap iCloud, then turn
    on the iCloud Drive toggle switch.

    Note: Use your Apple ID login information to sign in to your iCloud
    account on Windows and iOS. If you don't have this information, reset
    your Apple ID password.

    02 On your Windows PC, open File Explorer and copy the PDF file you want to
    transfer to your iPhone or iPad.

    03 Go to iCloud Drive and paste the file into an existing folder or create a new

    folder.

    04 The PDF file is available on your iPhone or iPad using the Files app.

    Tip: When you save a file to iCloud Drive from your PC, the file doesn't

    download to your device until you select it from the iPhone or iPad Files
    app. To access the file offline, go online, open the File app, and navigate
    to the file to download it for offline use.

    Another way to transfer a PDF from your computer to your phone is to email it to
    yourself. When you open the PDF on your mobile device, follow the directions to
    save it.
