Convert Google Docs to PDF on iPad
Converting Google Docs to PDF on iPad follows the same steps as iPhone, using the Google Docs app or Google Drive app. The larger screen makes it easier to navigate, but the export option is in the same location.
Steps on iPad
Open the Google Docs app on your iPad. Navigate to or open the document. Tap the three-dot menu in the top right. Tap Share and export, then Download, then select PDF Document. The PDF saves to your Files app or to a location you choose.
Using Split View for productivity
On iPad, you can use Split View to have the Google Docs app on one side and the Files app or an email app on the other. After exporting the PDF, drag it directly from Files into an email or document management app without switching apps.
Chrome on iPad
Chrome extensions do not work on iOS Chrome, including on iPad. If you need the full Docs to PDF Chrome extension experience, use a Chromebook or a Mac or Windows computer. For mobile PDF export, the Google Docs app method is the most reliable option on iPad.
