Save Google Doc as PDF from the Google Drive App on iPhone
Saving from the Google Drive app on iPhone lets you export a document as PDF without opening it. This is useful when you need to export quickly from a long list of documents.
Finding the option in Drive
Saving from the Drive app on iPhone starts in your Drive file list. Locate the Google Doc you want. Tap the three-dot icon next to the file name to open the file options menu.
Sending a copy as PDF
In the file options menu, scroll until you see Send a copy. Tap it. A dialog appears asking for the format. Choose PDF. The app generates the PDF and opens the iOS share sheet.
Saving to Files instead of sending
From the share sheet, tap Save to Files instead of an app or contact. Choose a location in the Files app for the PDF. This saves it to your device rather than sending it directly.
