Convert Google Doc to PDF without page breaks changing
Unexpected page breaks usually stem from implicit spacing and variable margins. Use explicit controls to stabilize flow.
Explicit page size and margins
Set page size and margins intentionally. Avoid relying on defaults across collaborators.
Keep headings with next
Use ‘Keep with next’ and ‘Page break before’ for key sections to prevent orphaned headings.
Avoid manual spacing
Remove repeated returns and spaces. Control spacing via styles so the renderer makes consistent decisions.
Table discipline
Use simple tables with defined column widths. Complex nesting causes reflow at export time.
Test and adjust
Export a proof, check problem areas, adjust styles, and re‑export until stable.
