Convert Google Drive Files to PDF from My Drive
Converting files from My Drive to PDF means you can export any document you own without opening it. Select the file in your Google Drive and click the Docs to PDF extension icon for an instant PDF download.
Selecting files in My Drive
Open Google Drive and navigate to My Drive or to the folder that contains your files. Switch to list view for easier selection. Click the checkbox next to each file you want to convert, then click the Docs to PDF extension icon in your Chrome toolbar.
File naming and organization
Each exported PDF takes the name of the source Google file. If your Drive files are well-named, your downloaded PDFs will be too. Before exporting, rename any files with generic names like 'Untitled document' to something meaningful.
Converting files in subfolders
The extension converts files visible in the current Drive view. It does not recurse into subfolders automatically. To convert files in a subfolder, navigate into that folder first, select the files you want, and run the extension.
