How to Convert Google Sheets to PDF

How to Convert Google Sheets to PDF

September 14, 2020 by Mel Hawthorne 2 Comments

If you want to send a Google Sheets document to someone, you may be happy to simply share the sheet with them, but this doesn’t work in all cases. For instance, if you’re sharing a document with family, friends, or co-workers then you may be happy to share the sheet. If, however, you’re sending a copy to a client or something similar, you’re much more likely to want to use a PDF format.

PDF copies of spreadsheets don’t disclose formulae and can’t be edited. This immutability is generally preferred for reports to ensure that formatting and content remain as intended.

Download as PDF

To download the Google Sheet as a PDF document, click “File” in the top-left corner, then hover over “Download” and select the “PDF document” option.

Click on “File” in the top-left corner, then hover over “Download” and select “PDF document” from the list.

On the next page, there are a number of configuration options. For example, you can configure which sheets or cells are selected, what page size is used, and if the grid lines are shown. Once you’ve configured the options, simply click “Export” in the top-right corner to download the PDF.

Configure the export options for the PDF, then click “Export” to download it.

Email as attachment

Alternatively, you can use the “Email as attachment” function to export and send the PDF document in one action. To do so, you need to click on “File” in the top-left corner, then click “Email as attachment” in the drop-down menu.

Tip: This feature integrates with Gmail, so you will need to be signed in to a Gmail account for this to work.

Click “File”, then “Email as attachment” to use be able to export and send the PDF in one action.

A window will pop up for you to select the recipient and write the email. Once the email is written, ensure that the drop-down box in the bottom-left says “PDF”, then click “Send”.

Enter the email addresses for the intended recipients, write your message, ensure the PDF format is selected, then click “Send”.

    My apologies, it was right there. Ignore my previous comment regarding downloading entire workbook.

    No, I want to down load entire Google Sheet workbook, at once. Doing it page by page takes a lot of time.
