Question

How do I save Adobe pdf files to iCloud Drive?

I've read articles that said I can't. Then I found this article that says Adobe added iCloud to iOS. But I still can't figure it out 

 

when I am at my 'save' option. iCloud is not there and when I want to add a drive only Dropbox, OneDrive, etc, show up. No iCloud

Here's the workaround to save a file open in Acrobat on your iPad to your iCloud Files app: Save the file to your iPad from within Acrobat.  Then go to the Files app and select Recents.  Then press and hold the name of the file (don't tap or the file will open).  A menu will appear that should include the Files app. Tap that and then select the location where you want to save the file.

I'm having the same problem. If Adobe is deliberately doing this then it is very irritating and childish of them.

    Hello @James26328684lpep 

     

    I hope you're doing great, and sorry for the inconvenience.

     

    As checked, we currently don't have an option to save files to iCloud.

    However, you can raise a feature request here -  Feature Request/Bug Report Form.

     

    I hope it helps.

     

    Regards, 

    Krutikka

    No problem. We have moved to another solution.

    Hi Jason,

     

    Hope you are doing well.

    Acrobat uses the iOS File Browsing feature to help you find and connect to any of your file storage providers. Please follow the instructions given under custom-cloud-locations:

    https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobat/ios/en/openfiles.html#custom-cloud-locations 

    Also, make sure that you have got the most recent update installed for Acrobat Reader mobile app and iOS.

     

    Thanks,

    Akanchha

    Hello, 

    This tutorial no longer works on ios / ipadOS / mobile

     

    Please see photos - There is no longer an option to add icloud. It simply is not there.
