Step 1: When viewing the document, tap the Share button and select Print. (The option shows up regardless of nearby printers or a Wi-Fi connection.)
Step 2: A preview of the document will load below the print options. You can scroll to the left or right to preview the pages.
Step 3: Instead of continuing the print process, force-touch on the document preview.
The document will then fully open, presenting another share button. Select it and save the document to Dropbox, iCloud or send as an email attachment.
