Convert PDF Files Into Google Docs
Google Docs, Google’s word processing software, has undergone improvements, including converting PDF to document.
Google Docs is one of the essentials and available on desktop and mobile, online and offline, while offering a collaborative mode, this word processing tool is appreciated by many Internet users. Today, Google is improving its software to enable better conversion of PDF to editable documents. Zoom in on these improvements and see how to convert PDF files into Google Docs.
Maintain PDF appearance during conversion
Google has just announced several updates that make it more efficient to convert a PDF submitted from Google Drive to Google Docs.
With an improvement in the import side of images, the software allows a more accurate recovery of the text wrapping related to it. In addition, the styles and formatting of the texts (font, highlighting, color, etc.) should be able to be kept identically on the converted document. Finally, Google Docs would also be able to support atypical layouts with, for example, columns and borders while maintaining the original layout of the content.
These updates should therefore convert all your PDF files into editable documents, keeping their original formatting.
Tips for better converting PDF to Google Docs
To convert your files, nothing could be simpler. Click on your PDF file, then click “open with” at the top of your document. Then select “Google Docs”.
However, for a satisfactory rendering, Google suggests a few tips:
File size: do not exceed 2 MB,
Resolution: make sure you have a text height of at least 10 pixels,
Font: use more classic fonts, such as Arial or Times New Roman,
Images: use sharp elements with correct brightness and contrast.
All the advice available for desktop, Android and iOS can be found on the Google support website.
These enhancements should be available by the end of the week for the majority of Workspace users.
