You get an Android, if this function is so important...
and I would have if I'd known about this limitation, it's so basic, never entered my mind it would do something so simple. I'm now locked into contract.

Try using pdf reader by pompolutz or the pdf reader pro by ocius
Hi mpt15, thanks for the suggestion. I'm using pompolutz (tried a few) but it's the lite version. I don't see any options to save the PDF I'm viewing. Is that in the paid version?
Regards
you can use the pro version to send files by emil and bluetooth. more details below. the pro version of the app by pompolutz is published by Ocius. this is the link:
PDF Reader Pro | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (United States)
I dont use the Pro version as i have no use for it.
Read PDF, XPS and CBZ files (password protected also) on your Windows Phone 8 device, open them from SD card, SkyDrive, internet, etc. Share them by email, Bluetooth and SkyDrive.
With this app you will be able to:

I could not have put it better and you describe my situation to a tee even down to Blackberry.
Does anyone actually go to MS conferences and shout at them? because they sure as heck don't listen to user feedback.
It's just such a simple thing to fix yet look how long this thread has been going on for.
@Pratrap, That's great (wouldn't expect anything less)
Now how do I get the PDF that's attached to the email I've just received on my phone to that same Documents location on my phone without a laptop?
Regards
I've just opened a PDF email attachment in the Microsoft PDF app. I can't find any options to upload to SkyDrive
Depends on which PDF reader you have installed, the Adobe version is very basic and can't do this. The Microsoft PDF reader can do this. With the .pdf open, tap once to pull up the breadcrumb "..." menu and tap again to get more options. Tap 'Share', sign in to Skydrive and upload. It will prompt you to share with someone via e-mail link but you can cancel the message, the file will still be uploaded.
Unfortunately this is not an acceptable solution. Sending clients via hotlink to a skydrive version of the PDF will do nothing but confuse them and make them wonder why I am giving them access to my cloud drive. I just want to attach a file to an email and send it -- like the rest of the world does that is using Office products. Why can't Microsoft make a Windows phone that does that?
