How do I attach a PDF in iBooks to iMessage

Share options of my PDFs in iBooks are limited to 'Email' and 'Print'. Is there a setting that I'm missing? Thanks.

Could you send it to your own email address, then from there to iMessage?


Sent from my ancient but trustworthy iPhone 5.

Thanks for response.....yes, I had already done that, but I thought that maybe it could be done without that extra step. BTW I'm using iPad Air with iOS 8.

Unfortunately that's the only way available right now. It's one of my irritations

attachments to emails can be copied and then pasted into iMessage. So far the only workaround I know of is to email the pdf, open the sent/received email, then copy the pdf attachment, and paste into iMessage.

Actually, there is a way to bypass this. If you hit print, the print screen will pop up. Pinch outward on the preview picture, and it will display another screen. On that screen there is a share button. Click on the share button and you will be able to send it with messages.

This absolutely works.
