Combine Any Google Drive Files into One PDF
Most deliverables are not a single document type. A proposal might include a written Doc, a pricing Sheet, and a Slides deck. A project archive might include reports, data summaries, and a final presentation. The Docs to PDF extension lets you select any combination of Google Drive file types and merge them into one PDF in the order you choose.
What file types can be combined
The extension merges Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Slides, and existing PDF files stored in Drive. You can mix all four types in a single merge. Each file is converted through Google's own export engine, so the output quality for each type matches what you would get from a manual export.
How to set up a mixed-type merge
In Google Drive, hold Ctrl or Cmd and click each file you want to include, regardless of type. Click the Docs to PDF extension icon, switch to merge mode, and arrange the files in the order you want. The extension handles each type automatically. Click Merge and the combined PDF downloads.
Page size and orientation across mixed types
Google Docs typically produce portrait A4 or letter pages. Google Slides produce landscape pages at the deck's aspect ratio. Sheets produce pages based on print settings. A merged PDF with mixed types will have mixed page orientations and sizes if the source files use different settings. This is expected and most PDF viewers handle it cleanly.
Using a cover page
For professional deliverables, create a Google Doc with a cover page: the document title, the client name, the date, and your contact information. Place it first in the merge order. The combined PDF opens with a professional cover before the main content.
Practical use cases for mixed merges
Client proposals: a cover letter Doc, a scope of work Doc, a timeline Sheet, and a pricing Sheet. Training packages: a syllabus Doc, module Slides, and reference Sheets. Annual reports: an executive summary Doc, financial statement Sheets, and a highlights Slides deck. Each scenario results in one PDF that presents the full picture without requiring recipients to open multiple files.

Read guide →Frequently Asked Questions
Can I merge a PDF file stored in Drive with my Google Docs?
Yes. Existing PDF files in Drive can be included in a merge along with Docs, Sheets, and Slides. The PDF pages are inserted at the position you set in the merge order.
Does the order of file types matter?
The order you set is the page order in the merged PDF. You can mix types in any sequence. A Sheet can come before a Doc, or a Slides deck can appear between two Docs.
Will the merged PDF look professional even with mixed file types?
Yes. Each file renders in its own style and format. The merged PDF presents each section as it was designed. For maximum consistency, standardize page sizes where possible and use a cover page Doc to frame the document.
Can I merge files from a shared drive with my personal Drive files?
Yes. As long as you have access to all the files, the extension can pull from personal Drive, shared drives, and shared-with-me files in a single merge.
