YOGYAKARTA - When you write a document in Google Docs, the created file will be saved automatically in Google Drive. However, users can also save them offline, one of which is in the form of Portable Document Format (PDF).

By saving documents that you create in Google Docs in PDF form, the contents of the document will be safer. The reason is, PDF documents are not as easy to change as Microsoft Word or others. This makes the documents that you create are not easily plagiarized by others.

In addition, documents saved in PDF format will make it easier for users when they want to print them. The reason is, if you use the Microsoft Word format there is a possibility that the file format will change if you open it on another computer that has a different version of Microsoft Word than the one you are using.

To save a file that you write in Google Docs into a PDF format is also very easy. If you don't know how to do it yet, users can follow the steps the VOI team has compiled below.

Save Google Docs to PDF

To save a document that you create in Google Docs, the user must first make sure that the file no longer needs to be changed or has gone through the editing process.

Next, users can open Google Docs and open the file you want to save in PDF format. Then select the "File" menu on the menu bar on the main Google Docs page.

A menu option will appear after selecting "File" in Google Docs. Scroll down on the "Download" column then select PDF Document.

Furthermore, the document that you have selected will immediately be downloaded in PDF format, and the user can give the file name of the document. After the document has been saved in PDF format, the user cannot change the contents of the document again.

However, if you want to repair a document file that has already been saved in PDF format, users can reopen Google Docs document files stored in Google Drive online.

You can repair the file, then save it again in PDF format by following the steps as above.

The same way you can do if the user types a document through the Google Docs application on an Android smartphone or iPhone, which you have.

After printing a document written in Google Docs into a PDF file the user can send the file via email directly through the device you are using.
