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:

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.
• Pages app: Create text documents and export them as PDFs.

These methods should allow you to easily create and send PDFs directly via WhatsApp on your iPhone.
