Copying a PDF file is easy and can be done using several methods. The method you choose will depend on your specific needs, as well as the source from which you are copying the file.
Method 1: Copy from computer to computer
You can copy a PDF file from one computer to another by saving it to an external hard drive or USB drive. First, open the file in its native PDF viewer; most computers come with such a viewer preinstalled. Then, go to “File” and select “Save As.” Select the hard drive or USB drive as the location to save the file, then click “Save.” The file is now copied from the source computer to the destination computer.
Method 2: Copy from computer to cloud storage
Copying a PDF file to cloud storage involves uploading the file to an online storage solution. Popular cloud storage solutions include Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive and Dropbox. To upload a PDF file to any of these services, simply launch the service’s website, create a free account (if necessary), then go to the “Upload” page. Select the PDF file from your computer, then wait while the file is uploaded to the cloud storage. You can then log into the service from any computer and access the PDF file.
Method 3: Copy from computer to email
You can also copy a PDF file from a computer to an email account. To do this, open the file in its native PDF viewer then go to “File” and select “Save As.” Select “Email” as the destination for the file, then enter the recipient’s email address; most PDF viewers allow you to add multiple addresses. Click “Send” to send the file as an attachment to the specified email address(es).
Method 4: Copy from website
If the PDF file is available on a website, you can copy it by downloading it to your computer. Most websites will have a “Download” button or link to help you do this. Simply click on the link and follow the instructions to download the PDF file.
When copying a PDF file, it’s important to remember that the copyright and other intellectual property laws of the original publisher still apply. You should not copy a PDF file without permission or appropriate license if the file is protected by copyright law.
