Save Multiple Google Docs as PDF to Your Computer
Saving multiple Google Docs as PDF to your computer at once is what the Docs to PDF extension is built for. Select any number of documents in Google Drive, click the extension once, and all the PDFs download to your computer in sequence.
Selecting multiple documents in Drive
In Google Drive list view, hold Ctrl on Windows or Cmd on Mac and click each document you want. For everything in a folder, press Ctrl+A or Cmd+A. Once your selection is set, click the extension icon. The extension reads the selected files and begins exporting.
Where multiple PDFs land on your computer
All PDFs from a batch export go to the same folder: your Chrome default downloads location. Each file is named after its source Google Doc. After the batch completes, move the files into their final location on your computer.
Keeping track of a large batch
For large batches, sort your downloads folder by date modified after the export finishes. All the new PDFs will appear at the top, making them easy to select and move as a group.
