This FAQ covers 3 common question types about Share Image PDF in WPS on iOS, helping you complete conversion and sharing more smoothly.
FAQ
What is the difference between an image-based PDF and a regular PDF?
- An image-based PDF turns page content into images before generating the shared PDF.
- This is more suitable when you want page appearance to stay consistent.
- After conversion, the file is generally less suitable for copying text or searching text.
Why do I need to wait for conversion before sharing?
- Share Image PDF first processes the original PDF pages into image form.
- The more pages the file has, the longer processing may take.
- The shareable file becomes available after the conversion is complete.
Why do I sometimes not see the sharing channel I want?
- The iOS share sheet only shows channels supported by apps installed on the device.
- If the target app is not installed, not signed in, or has limited permissions, it may not appear or may not send successfully.
- Check your network, app sign-in status, and sharing permissions, then try again.
