How to Convert a PDF File to Google Docs Format
When you upload a PDF to Google Docs, it converts the file to Google Docs format automatically. You don’t need any special tools or software to do it; the functionality is built right in. Because Google Docs is compatible with any platform, you can work with your PDF files in any web browser or on any device. Google Docs converts PDFs while retaining the original text and formatting. Once you’re in the document, you can update the text, add graphics, or rearrange the layout however you want. When you finish with your edits, export or share the document in a variety of formats, including DOCX, RTF, PDF, and HTML. You can also download it back to PDF by going to File > Download, email it, or send it to Google Drive as a PDF file.
Google Docs on the Go
One of the advantages of using Google Docs is that it is available from any device, anywhere you can access the internet. If you frequently access Google Docs from a smartphone or tablet, download the Google Docs mobile app for iOS and Android devices from Google Play or the iOS App Store. With the app, you can create, edit, and collaborate on the go, just like you can in a browser.
What Is a PDF File?
PDF stands for Portable Document Format. Adobe Systems created the PDF file format in the early ’90s as a way to create consistency in document formatting across different computer platforms. Thanks to the power and versatility of PDF files, they are among the most popular file formats around.
