I am using pages and numbers and when I want to export I go to Share > Send a Copy but for some reason the option to send to PDF, word (for pages), and excel (for numbers) has disappeared. Messages, Air Drop, Notes, and One Note are the only options.
I have excel, word, acrobat, and preview installed. I have no idea how this happened or how to fix it. Please help.
Here is the Apple Mail icon in the Extensions Preference panel on macOS 12.2. Same icon that has been there for years:
The icon that you showed previously in the Share panel is decidedly not an Apple Mail icon. That may be the root of the problem. I have several email accounts configured, but they are all arriving directly in Apple Mail, and not a different mail agent seconded to Apple Mail.

This has been solved. In the mail program > preferences > General tab > Default Mail Reader. For some reason, something authorized a change from Mail being the default to MS Edge. Obviously Edge is not a mail program so iWork had a bit of a freak out. I changed it back to Mail and everything is peachy.
Still not sure what caused it to switch though, because I certainly didn't switch it.
Using Pages v11.2 on macOS 12.2 (just updated), I have no issue with Share > Send a Copy > Mail allowing PDF, Word, etc as Mail attachments. You must choose one of the services before you are greeted with the document type panel is presented.
If I select Mail, then the following panel is available:
Visit System Preferences > Extensions > Share Menu, and ensure that Mail is selected. Quit Pages, and other applications, then reboot your Mac. See if that corrected it.
That is not an Apple Mail icon, and it makes me wonder if you are using Apple Mail as a front-end to another Mail application. That dog won't hunt with Pages which is hard-coded to use Apple Mail exclusively without the first sentence arrangement.
I updated to 12.2 but the problem persists. The odd thing is in the Systems Preferences > Extensions > Share Menu it lists mail but has an edge icon. Did something go screwy?
I've used Apple Mail as my primary mail forever. I have a few email accounts linked in but most are inactive. I've done this for year with no issues.
Are you on a Mac or an iPhone / iPad?
in iOS I think you go to Export and choose format then Share
On a MacBook Pro.

You posted in the iPad/iPhone forum. I'll try to have it moved.
For Mac you need to tell people what MacOS version you are running.
MacOS 12.1

I think the latest version of the Edge browser does include a limited ability to display and compose emails.
Good.
Los the ability to export iWork in PDF or MS Office
