Is there a way to save a pdf on an iPhone 6

[Maximilian Hohmann]

Hello!

The "reading glasses" symbol in the bookmarks menu of your Safari browser is the so called "reading list". It is supposed to be a one-time only bookmark. When you find something interesting on the internet but don't have a good connection/poor bandwith, you put it in your reading list. Later at home where there is Wifi or better net coverage, you can access your link from the "reading list" and it will be downloaded to your browser just like any other bookmarked site. Only that it will be automatically deleted from the reading list once it has been downloaded into the browser completely, whereas normal bookmarks will stay in the bookmark list.

To permanently download your pdf file to your iPhone, you need an app that can display pdf files. I would take Apple's own iBooks (freely downloadable from the iTunes store) because it integrates seemlessly with everything else on the iPhone. But there may be (technically) better pdf readers out there. Once you have iBooks (or any other reader) installed, you can transfer the pdf file from the browser to that program: After downloading the file into your browser completely, press the little icon next to your bookmarks icon that shows an empty square with a litttle upwards pointing arrow coming out of it. You will get a selection of apps that can display your pdf file. Choose iBooks and your pfd will be permanently transferred to the bookshelf of iBooks.

I hope this is what you were looking for! (has been working like this with almost all versions of iPhones, iPod touches and iPads so far).
