- Scenario
- Selecting and sharing multiple PDF files as email attachments from within the app.
- Observed behavior
- The user requires clear instructions to select multiple files for sharing or a method to combine them to simplify the emailing process.
Ensure you are logged into your default email application on your device and that your Adobe app is updated to the latest version to avoid share menu glitches.
Share Multiple Selected Documents Directly
Select multiple files directly within the Adobe app's file manager and share them together as email attachments.
Launch the Adobe Acrobat Reader application on your mobile device and navigate to the 'Files' tab where your documents are stored.
Long-press on the first document you wish to send to activate the selection mode, then tap to select any additional documents you want to include.
Tap the 'Share' icon (often represented by a box with an upward arrow or three connected dots). Choose your preferred email application from the share sheet, and the selected files will automatically be attached to a new email draft.

Combine Files into a Single PDF Before Emailing
Merge your multiple documents into one cohesive PDF file to make emailing cleaner, more organized, and easier for the recipient.
Use WPS Office to Combine and Email Multiple PDFs
WPS Office offers a powerful, all-in-one PDF toolkit. You can easily merge multiple documents, convert different file types to PDF, compress large files, and share them directly via email without needing expensive subscriptions.
- 1. Open the PDF Toolkit: Launch WPS Office and navigate to the 'Tools' tab on the home screen.
- 2. Merge Documents: Select the 'Merge PDF' tool and add all the files you wish to combine into a single document.
- 3. Compress if Necessary: If the merged file is too large for email, use the 'Compress PDF' feature to reduce its size instantly.
- 4. Share via Email: Click the 'Share' or 'Email' icon directly within the viewing interface to attach the file to a new email draft.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't I attach multiple files at once in the Adobe app?
Some older versions of the app or specific mobile operating systems restrict the sharing API from passing multiple attachments to certain email clients. If you encounter this, combining the files into a single PDF first is the most reliable workaround.
Is there a file size limit when emailing multiple documents?
Yes, most major email providers (like Gmail and Outlook) limit total email attachments to 20MB or 25MB. If the combined size of your selected documents exceeds this limit, the email will fail to send. You will need to compress the PDFs or share them via a cloud link instead.
Can I combine different file types before emailing?
Yes, but typically only if you convert them first. Using an all-in-one suite like WPS Office, you can convert Word documents, Excel sheets, and images to PDF format, and then merge them all into one cohesive file before sending.
