Airdropping PDF from iPhone to iPad going directly to Apple Books

Hi,

In the past, whenever I’ve airdropped a PDF file from my iPhone to iPad, it used to show a list of options on my iPad for selecting location to store the file (Apple Books vs Kindle vs Files etc).

When I now try it, it goes directly to Apple Books and opens the file when that is not where I want the files to go. How do I get those options back again?

Thanks,

Vishnu

I can't find pdf files sent via airdrop on my ipad I recently started sending multiple pdf files from my Macbook to my iPad. I got a prompt at first asking where to save the files but before I could tap a response the prompt vanished and my Macbook showed the files had been sent. The files were sent from the finder app on my Macbook. I looked at every possible location but I can't find these pdf files or the ones I sent afterward. I searched in files, Books, my WPS app, apple notes, goodnotes etc. none of the files come up in search. But when I send the files from my Mac, it still sends but it's nowhere to be seen. Please help.

Problem in AirDrop I am not able to locate a pdf file transferred from Macbook Air to iPad Pro via AirDrop. Earlier when I used to transfer pdf, there was a prompt for desired location of keeping the file. I have also tried transferring from Mac to iPhone. There was a prompt of the location but it quickly vanished. Now I am not able to locate the file on my iphone. It only happens with PDF files.
