Print Google Slides for Presentations
Before a presentation, having physical copies ready for the audience is a professional touch. The Docs to PDF extension lets you convert and print multiple presentations at once, so you can prepare materials for a full conference day or a series of sessions in one operation.
Preparing materials before an event
Gather all presentations for the day or session into one Drive folder. Run the batch conversion on the entire folder. Once all PDFs are ready, print the required number of copies for each presentation. Organizing by folder makes it easy to confirm all materials are covered.
Choosing the right print format
For audience handouts, 3 to 6 slides per page is standard. For presenter copies, one slide per page with room for notes is more useful. Decide on the format before printing and apply the pages-per-sheet setting consistently across all presentations in the batch.
Last-minute updates
If a presentation is updated before the event, reconvert just that file and reprint. Select only the updated file in Drive, run the extension, and replace the old printed copies. The other presentations do not need to be reconverted.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I print presentation materials?
Print at least the day before to allow time for any last-minute reprints. Converting and printing a folder of 10 presentations takes about 15 to 20 minutes total.
Can I include a cover page for each presentation in the batch?
You would need to add a cover page to each Slides file before converting. The extension exports the file as-is from Drive.
