Convert Google Docs Press Releases to PDF
PR professionals who draft press releases in Google Docs need to send them to journalists and media contacts in a format that is professional and easy to forward. A press release PDF can be attached to a pitch email, uploaded to a media portal, or included in a press kit. The Docs to PDF extension converts any press release in one click with the correct formatting preserved, ready for immediate distribution.
Press release formatting conventions
Press releases follow specific formatting conventions: a headline, dateline, body paragraphs in inverted pyramid style, a boilerplate, and contact information. These elements are formatted as distinct sections in Google Docs and export correctly in the PDF.
Including in press kits
Press kits often include a press release, company fact sheet, executive bios, and product images. The text-based documents can be converted to PDF from Google Docs and assembled with image files into a complete kit.
Archiving press coverage records
Converting press releases to PDF at the time of distribution creates an archive of what was issued and when. Batch convert a quarter's worth of releases at the end of each quarter for the PR record.
