- Scenario
- A user wants to quickly email an opened PDF file to a recipient directly from their mobile PDF reader app.

Use the Built-in Share Feature in Adobe Reader Mobile
This is the most direct method to send a PDF you are currently viewing to an email recipient without leaving the application.
Adobe Reader Mobile includes a native sharing function that communicates directly with the email apps installed on your device. This allows you to quickly attach a tax return or document to a new email draft with just a few taps.
Launch Adobe Reader Mobile and tap on the federal tax return or PDF file you wish to send to open it.
Tap the screen once to reveal the menu bar if it is hidden, then tap the 'Share' icon located in the upper-right corner of the screen.
From the sharing options menu that appears at the bottom of the screen, tap the icon of your preferred email application (e.g., Gmail, Mail, Outlook).
A new email draft will automatically open with the PDF attached. Fill in the recipient's email address, add a subject line, and tap 'Send'.
Read and Share PDFs Easily with WPS Office Mobile

- 1. Open PDF in WPS Office: Launch the WPS Office mobile app, navigate to your files, and tap your PDF to open it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I password-protect my federal tax return before emailing it?
Yes, it is highly recommended to password-protect sensitive documents like tax returns. While you can view them in standard reader apps, you typically need a comprehensive PDF editor like WPS Office to encrypt the file and add a password before sharing it via email.
Why is my email app not showing up in the mobile sharing options?
If your preferred email app isn't listed in the initial share menu, scroll to the far right of the app icons and tap 'More' (often represented by three dots). From there, you can edit your share sheet and toggle on your email application so it appears.
Is it possible to share multiple PDFs in a single email from a mobile app?
Most mobile PDF reader apps primarily focus on sharing the single document you are currently viewing. To attach multiple PDFs to one email, it is generally easier to open your email app first, start a new draft, and use the 'Attach File' option to select multiple documents from your local storage.
