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

Although you can easily save the Google Docs files to PDF documents, the exported files may not be 100% accurate. If this happens, you can export a Google Doc to a .docx or .xlsx file, then use an excellent PDF converter (like EaseUS PDF Editor) to convert it into a PDF document.
