Create PDF with google docs

          I never knew that we could create a PDF file using google docs. It is one of the biggest catchs, I have got from the internet. How happy I am.

Now I can create PDF files using the information from the net. Store it one my computer in a friendly format. Thanks a lot to Google.

Try the method given below
We’ll use a feature in the just introduced Google Docs & Spreadsheets Suite that lets you create new online documents by emailing them directly to a secret email address. The documents can be sent as an email attachment or even as a rich text email.

Step 1: Assuming you already have a Google Account, get your unique email address here where you’ll be sending the documents. [under Email-In Your Documents or Files]


Step 2: Using GMail, Outlook or any other email service, compose a new email message. Either attach your Word document or create a rich-text email message. Send this email to the address you copied in step 1.


Step 3: You will soon receive an email message back from Google Writely containing a link to your document on the Google Docs server. Open the document inside Google Docs.

You can also edit the document inside Google Docs in either HTML mode or the Rich-text mode itself. Don’t forget to save your changes.

Step 4: This is the last step - click the Google Docs File menu and choose Save as PDF. Select any folder on the hard drive and your PDF is ready.

The whole process takes less than a minute.

Quick Tip: You can also use the Google Docs email-in feature to upload more than one document in a single email message

Wow that was another great tip from digital Inspiration and Amit.
