Convert Google Doc to PDF without a Google account
When recipients cannot access Google, use PDFs to deliver content without login.
Export the canonical Doc
Keep editing in Docs, then export a PDF for distribution. Host at a stable URL and email the link or file.
Access controls
Avoid public Doc links if privacy matters. Instead, distribute the PDF directly to intended recipients.
Versioning
Date the footer so recipients know they have the latest version. Update and resend if content changes.
Mobile considerations
Ensure the PDF is readable on phones by keeping font sizes legible and margins sensible.
Automate
For recurring needs, standardize an export routine so anyone on the team can produce the PDF in seconds.
