Send a final, locked-down version of your document. PDFs look the same on every device, which makes them the safest format for sharing, signing, and printing. You can generate PDF outputs from any document template (Google Docs, Google Slides, Microsoft Word, or Microsoft PowerPoint).
Create a PDF from Google Docs
If you haven't built a workflow yet, start with the Quickstart, then come back here.
Open the template block in your workflow.
On the right, toggle Create PDF Copy on.
After the workflow runs, you'll find the PDF either in the Outputs tab or in your Google Drive folder.
To open it from the Outputs tab, find the row and click its dropdown.
To open it in Google Drive, click the folder link in the top right of the Outputs tab.
Create a PDF from Google Slides
Open the Slides template block in your workflow.
On the right, toggle Create PDF Copy on.
The PDF is available from the Outputs tab or your Google Drive folder, the same as for Google Docs.
Save only the PDF (no Google Docs or Slides copy)
If you only want the PDF and don't need the editable original, toggle on Remove Google Docs output file or Remove Google Slides output file in the same template block. Each run will then keep only the PDF.
