iPhone: Transfer a PDF to the PC - there are these options

There are several ways to transfer a PDF file from iPhone to your PC. We present two simple options.

Option 1: E-mail a PDF from iPhone to PC

The quickest way is via email. Send yourself the PDF as an email attachment and call up the file on your computer:

1. If you have the PDF in "iBooks" on your iPhone, for example, open the file.
2. In the top center press the square symbol with the arrow pointing upwards and select "E-Mail" (see picture).
3. Enter one of your mail addresses as the recipient and send the message.
4. Then open your mail program on your PC and check the email. You can save the PDF file in the attachment as usual.

Option 2: Transfer a PDF file from iPhone to PC via cloud storage

Transfer a PDF via cloud storage just as quickly:

• For example, use "Dropbox", install the associated app on your iPhone and log in with your access data.
• Depending on the program, you can either go directly or upload a PDF to the "Dropbox" or take a detour:

Example: Transfer via Dropbox

1. Variant: If the PDF is open in "Safari", click on the document. A menu appears at the top. Click on "Open in ..." and select the Dropbox app. Decide where the document should be saved and press "Save".
2. Variant: If you have the PDF in "iBooks", for example, you cannot call up the "Open in ..." menu. Open the document and take a screenshot of it. Then open the Dropbox app and press the three-dot icon in the top right. Click on "Upload". Select the screenshot from the recordings and press "Upload" again. Disadvantage: The document is no longer available as a PDF, but as a photo file.
3. If you haven't already done so, install "Dropbox" on your PC and open the program. Alternatively, go to the Dropbox website and log in. You can now view the file and save it locally.

You can also save a website on your iPhone as a PDF and then transfer it to your PC. We will show you how to do this in another practical tip.
