Hey @tholie75. Welcome to the forum + thanks for the question. :slight_smile:

Hmmm, so if I’m understanding you correctly. You are:

  1. Downloading a PDF from your mail app.
  2. Opening the PDF in Collabora Office app.
    • Doing some edits, leaving comments in the PDF or something?

Now you want to:

  1. Share the (edited?) PDF to someone else.

Method A: Collabora Office’s Opening Screen

Right now, if you open up the Collabora Office app, you should see the first screen:

Collabora.23.05.5.2.-.Android.-.Main.Menu.-.Share
Collabora.23.05.5.2.-.Android.-.Main.Menu.-.Share1080×2340 138 KB

Next to the PDF (or ODT/ODS/…) document:

  1. Click on the three-dot menu.
  2. Click “Share”.
  3. Choose which app you want to use.

Method B: Android File Manager

Or… you can just go into your file manager and share it just like any other file on your phone.

For example, let’s say…

  1. You open an email and download the attachment:
    • example.pdf goes into your Downloads folder.
  2. You click on example.pdf to open it in Collabora.

In Collabora, you can:

  1. Do your edits or whatever is needed.
  2. File > Save (or File > Save As and choose a new location)

Now, in your file manager (for example, I use X-plore) you can just:

  • Go to that folder.
    • For example, /Download folder.
  • Press+Hold on PDF.
  • Click “Share”.
  • Choose which app you want to share/attach the PDF to.
