After the last update for iPhone on August 1st (Version 23.07.00) when sending a Document, the receiving party doesn't receive the document but a link asking to download the Acrobat Reader app. This is happening when sharing on WhatsApp.

[PDF to WhatsApp] added to title for clarity

Hi Samuel,

For better file-sharing features, you might want to try FM WhatsApp Plus. It offers enhancements that could help with your issue.

The same here. It's impossible to share any pdf file through WhatsApp

Hi @Guilherme3047802491ci,

Thanks for reporting the issue.

The team is working on the edge cases where the files are not getting shared.

It will be fixed with the upcoming update.

hi all,

The Acrobat Reader 23.07.01 is available now in App Store and it should resolve the issue. Please try to update the latest version of Acrobat Reader and let us know if it works?

Thank you all for the patience.

We are sorry for any inconvenience. Could you please double check the Acrobat Reader iOS version on your device? If it is the latest Acrobat Reader iOS 23.07.01 and the issue still persists, we apologize the experience you have. Would you mind to provide us info to understand your circumstance,

1. What version of WhatsApp on your device?

2. What iOS device and model you have? What version of iOS on your device?

3. Could you please provide the exact step by step to instruct how to reproduce the issue? It would be very helpful if you could also provide the screenshot recording to demo it.
Thank you for your patience.

"send a copy" is networking Adobe instead of sending a copy of the edited PDF file it sends a link to the recipient to download Adobe reader. and I'm not paying PRO to send a link for people to download an app.

Hi @Roberto31520962iho6 @Javier31451884fbnn @Yamanegy @Samuel31445481rcfe @PAOLA31579836kekf,

As Derek mentioned, the team is aware of the issue and looking to implement the fix in the coming update.

I will update the thread once I hear from the team.

Have anyone found a solution ?

I tried uninstalling the app, all apps (WhatsApp, Adobe) are on their latest version. But, still when trying to send a PDF through WhatsApp instead of sending the document, it sends a link to download Adobe.
