Convert Google Drive Files to PDF and Save to a Specific Folder
Saving converted PDFs to a specific folder requires a small setup in your Chrome download settings. Once configured, every PDF exported by the extension can go directly to your target folder.
Setting Chrome to ask where to save
In Chrome settings, go to Settings > Downloads and enable 'Ask where to save each file before downloading'. With this setting on, Chrome shows a save dialog for each PDF the extension downloads. Navigate to your target folder in the dialog and save each file there.
Setting a default downloads folder
If you always want PDFs in the same location, change the default downloads folder in Chrome settings to point to your target folder. Every extension download will go there automatically without any dialog.
Organizing by date or project
For ongoing document management, create dated subfolders in your downloads directory before each batch. Name them by project or date, change your Chrome downloads path to point at the new subfolder, run the conversion, and change it back. This takes about thirty seconds and keeps your output organized.
