Creating PDFs directly on WhatsApp for iPhone users is not a built-in feature, but there are a few simple ways you can create and share PDFs using other apps in conjunction with WhatsApp. Here’s how to do it:

WhatsApp

Method 1: Using Notes and Share to WhatsApp

1. Create a PDF from Notes App:

• Open the Notes app on your iPhone.

• Create a new note and add the content you want to convert into a PDF.

• Once done, tap the Share button (the square with an arrow pointing up).

• Scroll down and select Print. This opens the Print Preview screen.

• On the Print Preview screen, use the two-finger zoom gesture (pinch out) on the preview of the document. This will turn the note into a PDF.

• Tap the Share button again, and now you can save the file to your Files app or send it directly through WhatsApp.

2. Send the PDF via WhatsApp:

• Once saved in Files, open WhatsApp.

• Choose the contact or group you want to send the PDF to.

• Tap the attach icon (paperclip) and select Document.

• Find and select the PDF you created in the Files app to send.

Method 2: Using Third-Party Apps (e.g., Adobe Scan or CamScanner)

1. Download a Scanning App:

• Download a document scanning app like Adobe Scan or CamScanner from the App Store.

• These apps allow you to scan documents, convert them to PDFs, and share them easily.

2. Scan and Convert to PDF:

• Open your scanning app (e.g., Adobe Scan).

• Use the app to scan the document or image you want to convert to a PDF.

• The app will automatically convert it into a PDF format.

3. Share the PDF via WhatsApp:

• After scanning and converting to PDF, tap Share.

• Select WhatsApp from the list of sharing options.

• Choose the contact or group you want to send the PDF to.

Method 3: Using iPhone Files and Pages App

1. Create a PDF in the Pages App:

• Open the Pages app on your iPhone.

• Create a new document or open an existing one.

• After adding your content, tap the three dots (more options) in the top-right corner.

• Tap Export and select PDF as the file format.

• Save the file to your Files app.

2. Send the PDF via WhatsApp:

• Open WhatsApp, tap the paperclip icon, and select Document.

• Navigate to Files and select the PDF you just created.

• Choose the contact or group to send the document to.

Method 4: Using Safari to Save Web Pages as PDFs

1. Save a Web Page as PDF:

• Open Safari and go to the website or article you want to convert into a PDF.

• Tap the Share button (square with an arrow).

• Scroll down and select Options, then choose PDF.

• Tap Save to Files and save it to your preferred location.

2. Share the PDF via WhatsApp:

• Open WhatsApp and tap the attach icon.

• Select Document and locate the saved PDF in Files.

• Send the PDF to the desired contact or group.

Summary:

• Notes app and Files app: Convert notes into PDFs and share them.

• Scanning apps (Adobe Scan, CamScanner): Scan physical documents and send them as PDFs.
