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.
Clause numbering and styles
Use automatic numbering for articles, sections, and subsections so updates ripple correctly. Avoid manual numbering that breaks on export.
Margins and pagination
Set explicit margins and use ‘Keep with next’ for headings. Insert intentional page breaks before signature pages.
Definitions and exhibits
Keep definitions formatted consistently and reference exhibits with clear labels. Place exhibits at the end and ensure cross‑references are accurate.
Signatures
Reserve clean space for signatures and dates. If using e‑sign, ensure fields and instructions are clear.
Export and archive
Export to PDF, verify pagination, and store with consistent naming. Keep the Google Doc as the editable master for future amendments.
