How can I download a PDF to my ipad?

How can I download a PDF from my document cloud to my local area in my ipad?    I cannot just move using my app as it won’t let me move from document cloud to local.   The instructions say sign in, select the file, press download and then tap on the pdf and select Save to from the secondary menu.    I only get a menu of copy or delete - no save to.    I have the app and want to save from document cloud to my local file but I cannot.    Very frustrating.   So the download only opens the pdf and does not actually download to ipad?

Hi CapricornCaz,

Sorry for the delay in response.

Currently, there is no option in the mobile application to directly download the PDF from Document Cloud and save it to Local.

However, there are some workarounds that you may use to save PDFs locally.

Refer to the steps mentioned in this forum thread How do I download cloud document to local for offline access on iPad? with a similar query.

Hope the information helps.

Let us know if you have any questions.

Regards,

Meenakshi

There is a way, if you don't mind having a copy of the file locally AND in Document Cloud. If you choose "save a copy" from the "..." menu, and then "On this iPhone", you can store the file in the Acrobat local storage. Then this file will be available offline. I emphasize though, that this is a copy and changes made to it or to the document in Document Cloud will not be reflected across the copies.
