Print Option is Missing in Pages version 12.2 for iPad OS 16.1

The print option is missing in Pages on my iPad. See above versions. I actually am not trying to print per se, I want to create a PDF which i always did via the print option. But I also own an airprint printer so don’t get what the problem is. My iPhone version of Pages has the print option and several other options not existing in my ipad version.

All solutions to this question that I found related to telling the person where print was hiding. It is not hiding though, it is missing. Another user posted the same problem here about a week ago but received no help at all. I am putting in my request here but titling it differently because my version is more descriptive of the actual problem and am more hopeful help will be received.

iPad Air, iPadOS 16

With introduction of updated versions of Apple’s productivity Apps (Pages, Numbers etc.), subsequent to release of iPadOS16.1 the print option has been moved.

Print is now accessed from the associated Document menu.

The PRINT option does not show up at all on this screen. Apparently you have to search for the document because it no longer shows up as a recent document. Then when you find it you click on Collaborate so that you can click on the option below that called Send Copy. Then you need to click on Export. Then you need to choose the format and then you can find the option to print it. This is such a backwards way of printing a document and I sure hope Apple fixes this.

As LotusPilot said, you have to go to the menu with the name of the document (the name you gave it or “Blank”, “Elegant Brochure”, etc.) and you may need to scroll down within it.

I attached two images so you could see the default menu and the one with the last item scrolled into view.

When you open the document, make sure that you scroll down within the menu that appears when you have tapped the name of the document.

It should not need to be scrolled because there is plenty of space within the screen and (I think) there is only one item still to be scrolled into view (Print), but it’s there.
