The clipboard isn’t a place where downloaded files are stored on an iPhone.


Open the Files app, tap Browse, and check Downloads under iCloud Drive or On My iPhone. If you downloaded the PDF from Safari, that’s usually where it went.


If you still have the email or message containing the PDF, open the attachment again and use Share > Save to Files. That lets you choose exactly where to save it.
