About This Feature

Overview

Share Image PDF is a PDF sharing feature in WPS Office for iOS. It converts the current PDF into an image-based PDF before you send it, which helps keep page appearance more consistent across devices and works well when the recipient mainly needs to view the file rather than reuse its text.

Core capabilities include:

Start Share Image PDF from an open PDF document.
Start Share Image PDF directly from the document list on the WPS home screen.
Choose a system sharing channel after conversion is complete.

Capability Summary	On iOS, WPS can start Share Image PDF from an open PDF or from the home document list, then convert the file into an image-based PDF before sharing.	Microsoft officially documents exporting files to PDF, and notes that many programs can still open and edit PDF files.	Google officially documents downloading files and saving large Docs files as PDF through Print, which is centered on export or download rather than converting an existing PDF into an image-based PDF for sharing.	Notion officially supports exporting a page as PDF on mobile, then using the phone share menu. This is mainly page export rather than PDF-to-image-PDF sharing.	Adobe officially documents sharing PDFs by link for viewing and review, with a workflow centered on link sharing and collaboration.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The entry is built into the PDF sharing flow on iOS. Distinct: The output is an image-based PDF, which fits scenarios where stable page appearance matters during sharing.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft focuses on standard PDF export, and its official guidance notes that sharing as PDF alone does not guarantee the file cannot be edited.	Compared with WPS: Google focuses on file download or Save as PDF from print, without official guidance for converting an existing PDF into an image-based PDF before sharing.	Compared with WPS: Notion focuses on exporting page content as PDF, not on converting an existing PDF file into an image-based PDF for sharing.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses more on sharing PDF links for viewing or review, so the sharing form is different from sending an image-based PDF file.

Overall Conclusion
If you want to send a PDF from iOS with a more fixed visual result, WPS is closer to that goal because it converts the file into an image-based PDF before sharing. Other products mainly focus on PDF export, page export, or link sharing, so their workflows and output forms are different.
