After upgrading to iOS 12 it seems that I can no longer save PDFs from Safari directly to the Files app. When I hit the share button, it doesn’t give me the option to Save to Files. The only available option is Create PDF which just creates a blank file screen with the file name and data. If you save this to Files app, it doesn’t open.
Anyone else encountered this issue and found a fix?
Currently I am saving PDFs to Google Drive and then transferring them to Files afterwards which is a pain.
You have a couple of options.
If you move the mouse to the bottom-center of the screen it will appear a menu where you have an option to save to disk. See image below.
Additionally, you use Print option, and there is an option in the bottom-left of that menu called PDF that you can use to save the document.
Try downloading the PDF, there should be an option called "Open with ..." or "Open in iBooks".
Or after selecting it, click on the 3 dots on the top right, there should be the option "Open in"

Didn’t find the option either. Quick workaround is to use „Create PDF“ and the „Save to Files“ from the sharing sheet when the PDF is displayed.
