Question

I don't want another app!

I used to be able to share a pdf by text, with anyone who had a smart phone.  Now I try to share a pdf and I'm sent to a site and asked to sign up for WHATSAPP.  I don't want to use another app, I don't know if the people I share with will have whatsapp.   Please take a step back and make it easier for sharing pdf's.

@active_Enchantment5143 I just shared a file as a test, and maybe it's how I do it because I don't see the WhatsApp on my end (even though I do have it on my device!)—to create the shareable link, use your smartphone's native "Messages" or "Text" app to send the link, rather than using Acrobat's direct "Share via App" options.

Using the phone works, thanks.   But I find it strange to have to work around their software; is Adobe software always like this?
