Numbers: Cannot export PDF to Files app on iPad

Numbers - Cannot export a PDF to the Files app ? The option is not visible in the pop-up anymore. Other options like Airdrop, Dropbox, Messages etc. are available as export location. I cannot scroll down to see more option in this pop-up. This happens on the latest iPad iOS 26.1… i tried the same on my iPad Pro with iOS 17.7.10 and there I can save to files without any problem.


iPad Air, iPadOS 26

The export options have changed a little, but they should still be there.


What may be compounding the issue is that Files is not one of the defaults. For example, when I choose to Export to PDF, I see the following:



For reasons I can't explain, Files is buried beneath the "More..." options at the bottom:



Clicking this expands the list to include additional options, and this button itself changes to the Files option:



Not exactly intuitive, since you don't expect this button to change function, but it is there.
