    Hi,

     

    The Adobe Reader mobile app has nothing to do with your messaging app.

     

    Your messaging app, on the other hand, supports the sharing of PDF files only in its latest version and it is a new feature of the latest version.

     

    Also, there is a series of older operating systems for mobile devices that this WhatsApp is not supporting, including  its use in certain countries, banning of some social media services, cease supporr for some devices in February 2020,  to include Windows Phones support.

     

    If you need to share  PDFs with your contacts you need to refer to the support website.

    Hi @Emutebi44,

    It seems Adobe apps don’t directly support sharing to WhatsApp. A simple workaround is to upload your document to a cloud service, then use cheetahLinkz.com to shorten the link. Once you have the shortened link, you can easily share it via WhatsApp.

    Hope this helps!

    Hi @iqbal_4008,

     

    Hope you are doing well. Thanks for writing in!

     

    We do support sharing the files to any application that allows file sharing on their platforms.

     

    This can be done in two methods:

    1. Open the PDF-> click the share button on the top right-> enable the share a copy button-> select the app from the next window.

    2. Open the PDF-> click the three dots on the top right-> click send a copy-> select the app on the share sheet in the next window.

     

    Hope this helps.

    To share documents on WhatsApp, also on GB WhatsApp, follow these steps:

    1. Open the chat where you want to share the document.
    2. Tap on the attachment icon (paperclip) in the chat window.
    3. Select "Document" from the menu.
    4. Choose the document you want to share from your device.
    5. Tap "Send" to share the document with the selected contact or group.

    To pin chats and messages on GB WhatsApp, simply long-press the chat or message you want to pin, then choose the "Pin" option from the menu that appears. This will keep it at the top of your chat list for easy access.
