How to Save a PDF to Your iPhone or iPad
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.
How to Save a PDF From an Email or Website
The Safari web browser and the Mail app use a similar interface to download PDFs and to preview PDF files.
Select the PDF to open a preview.
Tap Share to open the share sheet that contains options to share and save files such as PDFs.
If you don't see the Share button in Safari, scroll to the top of the PDF to display the menu.
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.
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.
Follow the onscreen directions to complete the PDF download. For example, press Add in Files to save the PDF in one of those folders.
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.
On the Mac, open the PDF and select Share.
The Mac has a similar share button as an iOS mobile device, featuring a box with an arrow pointing out of the top.
Select AirDrop, then select your iOS device.
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.
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.
On your iPhone or iPad, go to Settings, tap your name, tap iCloud, then turn on the iCloud Drive toggle switch.
On your Windows PC, open File Explorer and copy the PDF file you want to transfer to your iPhone or iPad.
Go to iCloud Drive and paste the file into an existing folder or create a new folder.
The PDF file is available on your iPhone or iPad using the Files app.
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.
