Do you actually have issues attaching a pdf to email on iOS?
There are plenty of apps to upload stuff to FTP. If this was an actual thing you used with any regularity, you'd have something installed already if files isn't connecting for you.
No. And to be clear, it depends where the pdf is : if it's inside another app, like adobe scan, you can't unless you share it from the other app and retype your mail. If it's already in "Files", then you are lucky and some apps -like gmail- allow you to pick from "Files".
If you wish for Adobe Scan to store the scan in "Files" automatically, well, you can't. You have to "share" them individually FROM THE APP to "Files".
And I think you will understand, now : this is the same shit show when trying to upload something via FTP. Like family photos.
The UX is stupid. The workflow is abysmal. The discovery is inexistant. The teams responsible for this at Apple don't care, as it's been like this for _years_.
What else are you going to use an iPad for, except for editing family photos and annotating pdfs ?
And then I tried sending a pdf by email. Oh well.
Can I share it on the corporate FTP ? Oh no.
Let me airdrop this to you... Wait... is this a windows / android device ?

Alright, I'll just use my laptop. My iPad is too niche for this workflow.
