There are two ways to convert a Google Doc to PDF:
Download it directly from Google Docs.
Email it in PDF format.
Both methods are straightforward. Here’s how to proceed:
Open the Google Doc you wish to convert to a PDF. Navigate to 'My Drive' and use the search function to locate the file.
Click on 'File' in the top right-hand corner, just below the title of your document.
For direct download (Option 1): Select 'Download' from the File menu, then choose 'PDF.'
The file will automatically download to your standard Download folder.
For emailing the file (Option 2): Choose 'Email' and then 'Email this file.'
Fill in the necessary details in the interface that appears.
You can send a copy to yourself and others by selecting the format (PDF) in the 'File type' section. The file will then be available in your email.
