Bulk Convert Google Docs and Slides to PDF
Project packages often pair a written document with a presentation: a brief and a deck, a report and a pitch, a lesson plan and the slides. Pick both kinds of files in the online converter and convert them in one batch. The online converter uses Google's standard PDF export for every file; custom print settings only apply when you print or download from the Google app itself.
Differences in export output
Google Docs produce portrait-oriented page-layout PDFs. Google Slides produce landscape-oriented PDFs by default, one slide per page. When you mix them in a batch, each file's PDF reflects its own dimensions and layout.
Keeping matched pairs together
For packages where each Doc pairs with a Slides file, use consistent naming. For example, 'Project Brief.pdf' and 'Project Deck.pdf' from source files named 'Project Brief' and 'Project Deck'. This makes distribution of matched pairs straightforward.
Speaker notes in Slides from a mixed batch
The online converter exports slides without speaker notes. If one deck needs a notes version, download it separately from Google Slides with File > Print settings and preview > Download as PDF.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does page size differ between Docs and Slides in the same batch?
Yes. Docs use the page size set in the document settings. Slides use the slide dimensions, which default to widescreen landscape. With merge off they are separate PDF files; in a merged PDF each page keeps its own size.
