Convert legal contract from Google Docs to PDF

Contracts need reliable pagination, numbered clauses, and signature spaces that render consistently. This approach reduces negotiation friction.

1

Clause numbering and styles

Use automatic numbering for articles, sections, and subsections so updates ripple correctly. Avoid manual numbering that breaks on export.

2

Margins and pagination

Set explicit margins and use ‘Keep with next’ for headings. Insert intentional page breaks before signature pages.

3

Definitions and exhibits

Keep definitions formatted consistently and reference exhibits with clear labels. Place exhibits at the end and ensure cross‑references are accurate.

4

Signatures

Reserve clean space for signatures and dates. If using e‑sign, ensure fields and instructions are clear.

5

Export and archive

Export to PDF, verify pagination, and store with consistent naming. Keep the Google Doc as the editable master for future amendments.
