Bulk Convert Drive Files to Separate PDFs
Exporting to separate PDFs is the default behavior in bulk mode. Each selected Google Drive file becomes its own standalone PDF file, named after the source document. This is what most people need when archiving, distributing individually, or submitting multiple documents.
Why separate PDFs are usually the right choice
Separate PDFs work better when recipients need individual files, when you need to attach specific documents to different emails or tickets, when archiving documents independently with their own names, or when each PDF will be processed separately after conversion.
Naming and finding the output
Each PDF takes the name of its source file. A document called 'Invoice 2026-03' becomes 'Invoice 2026-03.pdf'. After a large batch, sort your downloads folder by date modified to find all the files from that session.
Switching between separate and merged output
The extension defaults to separate PDFs for each file. If you want a merged output instead, use the merge option. Both are available in the same extension panel.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I confirm that the extension created separate files and not a merged PDF?
Check your downloads folder. Separate exports create one file per source document. If you see a single file, the merge option was active.
