Open the PDF file and select **Share**. ![](https://support.cbo.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-24-2025-07-10-19-8826-PM.png?width=596&height=211&name=image-png-Jul-24-2025-07-10-19-8826-PM.png) ![](https://support.cbo.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-24-2025-07-15-10-9780-PM.png?width=187&height=83&name=image-png-Jul-24-2025-07-15-10-9780-PM.png) 4.
