How do I save Adobe pdf files to iCloud Drive?

[W. Jason5CC9]

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

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.

Please see last reply with photos. 

Acrobat Locations no longer show iclould as an option on ios, ipadOS, or mac. 

It is simply gone. 

Acrobat software engineers need to fix this please. Otherwise people are going to choose a different PDF program that is compatible with Apple.

You totally evaded and DID NOT answer the question.  

How do I SAVE from Acrobat to iCloud Storage.

it appears to NOT be possible - as though Adobe is forcing users to their own cloud storage. People want a single "Go To" for their cloud storage - I have OneDrive, DropBox, iCloud, ImageShack, PhotoBucket, GoogleDocs, GooglePhotos, AdobeCloud - hell some of the I may not even know the correct name.  I'm just trying to move to one.

Hi @Tyrone34519706xow9,

Hope you are doing well. Thank you for writing in!

For iOS, you can use the option "Save a Copy" and then select iCloud's location through the folder selector.

This should save a copy of the file there, and you can view and open the file from the location tab on your phone.

Let me know if this is not what you are experiencing, and we can troubleshoot further.

That is exactly what my complaint is; there is no iCloud option when I choose to”Save a Copy”.

Screenshots below.  On my iPhone I choose “Save a Copy”, and I get all kinds of cloud and storage options, but on the iPhone, and iCloud is not an option - just doesn’t make sense.

Are you actually using an iPhone while you’re giving this advice?

@Tyrone34519706xow9 Sorry for the confusion.

What I wanted to suggest was "Send a Copy."

When you use the option "Send a Copy," scroll down on the app picker to choose "Save to Files."

Once there, use the left arrow to go back all the way to the location selector and select "iCloud Drive."

That should help you save to iCloud.

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.

No problem. We have moved to another solution.

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.
