| Capability Summary | On iOS, WPS lets you compress a PDF before sharing it, then continue to a sharing destination after compression finishes. | Microsoft official iOS PDF documentation mainly covers viewing and markup. No official page was found for an integrated compress-then-share PDF flow matching this feature. | Google official mobile documentation supports file sharing, permissions, and collaboration in Docs and Drive. No official page was found for a PDF-specific compress-then-share flow. | Notion official mobile documentation focuses on sharing page links, publishing to the web, and inviting people. It is not centered on compressing a local PDF before sharing. | Adobe officially provides an online PDF compression tool and states that it can be used from a mobile browser or the Acrobat Reader mobile app, then the compressed file can be downloaded and shared. |

Advantage: WPS keeps compression and sharing in one continuous PDF workflow on iOS, which is convenient when you need to send a large PDF quickly.
Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to reduce a PDF file size and send it right away on iOS, WPS offers a more direct in-app flow for that task. Google and Notion focus more on link sharing and collaboration, while Adobe provides a separate compression tool workflow.
