Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my PDF failing to send?
Common reasons include the file exceeding the maximum size limit allowed by the service, an unstable internet connection, an invalid recipient email address, or temporary server outages.
How can I send a PDF if the built-in feature is broken?
You can bypass the built-in feature by saving the PDF locally to your device, opening your preferred email client (such as Gmail or Outlook), and manually adding the PDF as an email attachment.
Does file size affect my ability to send a PDF?
Yes, most sharing services and email providers have strict file size limits (often between 20MB and 100MB). If your PDF is too large, try compressing it before sending.
