Convert Google Docs Data Reports to PDF
Researchers who write data summary reports in Google Docs need to share them with stakeholders, collaborators, and funders in a stable format. A data report in PDF format is a fixed snapshot of the findings at a point in time. It can be shared with external partners who do not have Google Drive access, printed for a meeting, or archived as the official record of interim findings. The Docs to PDF extension converts data reports in one click.
Tables of results
Data reports include tables of numerical results, descriptive statistics, and comparison data. These tables need correct alignment, column widths, and clear borders. The extension preserves table formatting exactly as set in Google Docs.
Sharing with external partners
Research collaborators at partner institutions who do not have access to the Google Drive can receive data report PDFs. The PDF opens without a Google account and can be read on any device.
Funder reporting
Funders often require progress reports and data summaries in PDF format. Converting from Google Docs to PDF with the extension produces a submission-ready file directly from the document you have been working in.
