I have been using Apple Mac            computers since 1987
      When I retired in 2005, part            of my retirement package from the university was my office            Apple Mac computer. That was running OS 10.4.11 - and I was            perfectly happy with that.
      Unfortunately, the PSU            cremated the Motherboard so I had to replace it.
      I bought a second-hand Mac            Pro 3.1 which has OS 10.6.8 installed.
      I needed OS 10.6.8 because            that would  allow me to run my existing software - I could             NOT afford to replace any software nor face the precipitous            learning curve discovering how to use it.
      I am VERY happy with the            equipment that I have now on my desk.
      The problems are with the            iPhone - and that's mostly because there is  no detailed            printed manual for it.
      With best wishes and thanks

                                                      Yeap, that app will do it. The one purchased from                DataViz. If it works in his iOS? I am surprised he does                not have more issues with that old an MacOS.
              
              
                                                                                                                                                                             
                        
                        
                        MC  - I used to use an app and                          windows program called Doc's to Go. (In fact I                          still have it on my phone and checked to be sure                          it would do what you want). It is a purchase                          though. With it you can directly sync between                          the Mac and computer without using the cloud. I                          have included this link to a support FAQ and the                          products page. It is very simple to use. And                          worked for me for years since Palm and Treo                          days. Boy am I dating myself.

                                                                                                Thank                                        you for taking the time to respond                                        in a helpful way.
                                   I                                        have used the Action icon to save                                        the file in FILES but it appears                                        to be saved in The Cloud but NOT                                        locally.
                                  I                                        do NOT understand why I can't save                                        the file on my iPhone.
                                  In                                        general, I do NOT want any of my                                        files on The Cloud. I have no                                        doubt that you will tell me it's                                        impossible but if the Cloud fails,                                        then my files will be lost.
                                  And                                        please do NOT tell me that it's                                        impossible for the Cloud to fail.                                        I know of many instances when                                        things that are deemed impossible                                        have happened.
                                  But                                        the problem of saving the file is                                         now solved, Thank you all

It                                        may be technique. First off - are                                        you running the current version of                                        iOS. It may be if you have an                                        older version my steps won't work.                                        I am on 12.4. If you are current,                                         after you open the attachment,are                                        you first hitting the icon with                                        the box and arrow and selecting                                        "print"? When you get to the print                                        screen ( where the printer is                                        shown and the number of copies                                        wanted and options are shown) put                                        your fingers on the document                                        itself and then zoom out.  The                                        document will expand and the                                        printer options will disappear but                                        you can still see the action                                        button in the upper right hand                                        corner. Hit the icon   again and                                        all your file storing options will                                        be shown.. 
                                      
                                      
                                      The other technique which works                                        on my iPhone X is the hard press                                        on the document. If you have a                                        phone that has the hard press                                        option try that on the document                                        itself after you have selected the                                        print option.  Press the screen                                         hard and it should expand                                        obscuring the print options but                                        leaving the action icon. 
                                      
                                      
                                      I hope you can accomplish this                                        pdf conversion. I use it all the                                        time to save things - emails,                                        attachments, web pages esp when                                        reader view is available.

                                                You can do the same                                                  for an attachment. Open                                                  the attachment hit the                                                  action button.  Hit                                                  print then zoom with                                                  your fingers. It                                                  converts to a PDF that                                                  can be stored in any                                                  storage location you                                                  have and use on your                                                  phone.. If you want to                                                  put it back on your Mac                                                  (I don't have one) use                                                  whatever file transfer                                                  is standard for a Mac                                                  iPhone transfer.

                                            I have tried that.                                            
                                            When I moved my fingers apart                                            nothing apparently  happened                                                                                                                                                                                                     
                                            Perhaps I'm  just senile
