In Word or Google Docs, the default page orientation is always portrait, and most documents will look better in that way.

But how to change the portrait into landscape mode in Google Docs?

If you have no idea, then this post comes in handy. On this page, we will provide a detailed step-by-step tutorial to assist in completing the task.

There are many times you may need to send a Google document to someone. For example, if you are sharing a document with family or friends, you may be happy to share the Google Docs directly. If, however, you are sending a copy to a client or someone similar, you're much more likely to want or need a PDF, which is universally compatible and more portable than other file types.

So, if you have created a Google Doc and want to convert it to PDF, you can directly download it as a PDF file like below:

  • Click "File" > "Download" > "PDF Document (.pdf)", then click on the "Save" option to keep it on your computer for sharing
