How to make a PDF on Google Docs

To convert your Google Docs file to a PDF, first open the document you wish to save. Then, navigate to the File menu and select Download.

From the dropdown, choose 'PDF Document (.pdf)'. Google Docs will automatically convert the document and download it as a PDF to your computer.

If you’re using the Google Docs mobile app, the process is similar. Open the document, tap the three vertical dots in the upper-right corner, select Share & export, then tap Save as and choose PDF. The app will then save the document in PDF format directly to your device or cloud storage.

PDFs are ideal for maintaining document consistency, especially when sharing with others who might not use Google Docs or when you want to prevent further edits. By following these steps, you can quickly convert any document to a PDF and share it with ease.
