How Do I Open a PDF in Pages on iPad?

Are you tired of using Apple's built-in PDF viewer on your iPad? Do you want to access more features and better functionality when opening PDF attachments? Look no further! Here's a quicker way to open a PDF attachment by bypassing Apple's built-in PDF viewer.

To start, tap the Acrobat icon in the popover that appears after selecting a PDF attachment. This will allow you to access more features and customization options. Next, tap the Share icon in the upper-right corner of the screen. This will bring up a list of available apps that can open the PDF document.

Once you have selected an app, tap anywhere in the PDF document again to display the toolbar (if it's not already shown). You'll see a range of options and features here, including the ability to zoom in and out, add annotations, and more.

Some pages may appear mostly blank or empty when opened using Apple's built-in PDF viewer. This is because this viewer does not render annotations, such as sticky notes, highlights, freehand drawing, handwritten signatures, and filled form data.

If you're still having trouble finding the 'Open in Adobe Acrobat' option, try long-pressing (or pressing and holding) on the PDF document. The toolbar may contain a Share icon or an 'Open in' label that you can tap to access more options.

Finally, if you see nothing but a PDF document, tap anywhere on the document to display a toolbar. From here, you should be able to access the features and functionality you need.

For those using older versions of iOS (5 or 6), there are additional resources available, including tutorials on opening PDF files in Reader for iOS (iPhone and iPad) and How to open PDF documents in Adobe Reader for iOS (iPhone on iOS 7 version).

In summary, by following these simple steps, you can bypass Apple's built-in PDF viewer and access more features and functionality when opening PDF attachments on your iPad.
