What Google Drive files can I convert?

You can convert Google Docs, Google Slides, and other viewable document formats that are shared via Google Drive links. The tool works with any file that can be previewed in a browser when you open a shared Drive link. Google Sheets are also supported, though complex spreadsheets with multiple tabs will be captured as they appear in the browser preview. The converter automatically detects the file type from the Drive URL and uses the appropriate conversion method for the best output quality.

Do I need the owner to grant download permission?

No, you do not need explicit download permission. The file only needs to be shared with "Anyone with the link" at the viewer access level. The converter captures the visual content of each page as it renders in the browser, similar to taking screenshots, rather than using Google's download API. This means it works even when the file owner has disabled the "Viewers can download" option in their sharing settings. However, the file must be accessible via its shared link.

Can I convert Google Sheets to PDF?

Yes, Google Sheets can be converted to PDF. The converter captures the spreadsheet as it appears in the browser preview, which means it will show the active sheet with visible columns and rows. Complex spreadsheets with multiple tabs will have each visible tab captured. Very wide spreadsheets may be truncated to what fits in the browser viewport. For best results with Sheets, consider adjusting the print area and page layout in Google Sheets before sharing the link.

What happens with multi-page documents?

Multi-page documents such as Google Docs are captured page by page and combined into a single PDF file. The converter scrolls through the entire document, capturing each page at high resolution. Page breaks are preserved as they appear in the browser rendering. For very long documents (50+ pages), the conversion may take a few minutes. You can track progress in real-time as each page is captured. The resulting PDF maintains the original page order and formatting.

Can I convert files where the owner has disabled downloads?

Yes, pitch2pdf works even when the file owner has disabled the "Viewers can download" option in Google Drive sharing settings. The converter captures the visual content of each page as it renders in the browser, similar to taking screenshots, rather than using Google's download API. This means any file that can be previewed via a shared link can be converted to PDF, regardless of download permissions set by the owner.
