In this short video I will teach you how to easily create a PDF document using Google Docs. You will need to have a gmail account. Included in your FREE Google Account are great tools like Drive, Docs, Sheets, Forms, and Drawings. You can create all of these types of documents and it doesn't cost you a cent.

We will be using Google Docs to create our PDF.

The steps to create your Google Doc and Turn it into a PDF are as follows:

  1. Login to your GMail Account
  2. In the right upper corner you will see an Icon image 1 below. Click on it.
  3. You will select Google drive as that is where all of the tools are.
  4. When Drive is open you simply choose new and Document.
  5. Create your Document by pasting or typing text and inserting pictures.
  6. To turn that into a PDF simply click File and Download. Choose PDF as your download type. It will save to the location you specify.

If you have Windows 10 as your OS you can create PDF when you save a document instead of saving as a word doc click on the arrow on the right hand side the second one down and (use drop down menu listed in their about the fifth item down) save as PDF.

Yes I agree Glen I too have Google Docs also

I just wanted to let the Window 10 uses know they don't have to go to Google Docs to do this they already have the feature on the OS.

Of course if they are creating their website content on Google Docs first then copy and paste to site content, they will already be in Google Docs and then your way will be easier for them.

Have a Great day,

Calvin
