Export a Single Tab from Google Sheets as PDF
Exporting a single tab from Google Sheets gives you a focused PDF of just that one sheet. The extension exports the active tab when triggered from inside the open spreadsheet.
Navigate to the tab first
Click the tab at the bottom of the spreadsheet that you want to export. Make it the active tab. Then click the Docs to PDF extension icon. The export includes only the content of the currently active tab.
Setting the print scope in Google Sheets
If you want to be precise about which tab exports, go to File > Print before clicking the extension. In the print settings, set the scope to 'Current sheet'. This ensures only the active tab is included regardless of how the file was last configured.
Why single-tab exports are useful
Many spreadsheets have summary tabs, data tabs, and input tabs. When sharing with a client or manager, you often only want the summary or report tab. Exporting just that tab keeps the PDF focused and professional.
