Print a document

You can print any document in Docs, or save it as a PDF, directly from the editor. Docs sends the document content to your browser's print dialog, leaving out the toolbar and the rest of the screen.

Print the document

1. Open the document you want to print.
2. Click File in the toolbar.
3. Choose Print from the menu.
4. Your browser's print dialog opens. Pick your printer and settings, then click Print.

Save as PDF

There is no separate "save as PDF" button. The same print dialog does it.

1. Follow the steps above to open the print dialog.
2. Where the dialog asks for a destination or printer, choose Save as PDF (the exact wording depends on your browser).
3. Click Save and pick where to keep the file.

If you need a downloadable copy in a specific format such as Word or HTML, use File → Download instead. See Export to Word, PDF, or HTML.
