Using Google Docs is a great way to collaborate on and share documents. Sometimes, though, you want to provide somebody with a PDF instead of an editable document. Google Docs now lets you edit your sharing link to provide a PDF. Best of all, if you edit the original document, the PDF link automatically includes any changes you made. Here’s how it works.
Note: This process works for Google Docs and Google Sheets, but not Google Slides.
Go ahead and open up the document you want to share. Once you’re there, click the “Share” button at the top right of the screen.
In the Share With Others window, click the “Get shareable link” option at the top right.
You’ll receive a message letting you know that the link has bee copied to your clipboard. You’ll also notice the “Link Sharing” section has now appeared in the window.
