Hi all,
How could I convert an uploaded doc / docx to pdf using the google drive functions? Tried with uploading, downloading functions, etc - but the Web View Link is empty for example.
I know how to do this when the input is google doc, but the same doesn’t word with docx…
Thanks!
Hello @karla,
When you use Google Drive Download a File module, you can select PDF in the “Convert Google Documents Files to Format” dropdown under Advanced settings:
Hi @Donald_Mitchell - Thanks for the hint, but this is exactly what we did and it’s not working. The document that needs to be converted is not a Google Doc, its a docx. With the Google Doc - it works 100%. But with the docx - no…
Have you tried converting it to Google Doc format after upload?
Google Drive Upload a File (Show Advanced Settings → Convert a File = Yes → Target Google File Type = application/vnd.google-apps.document)?
Then, maybe you will be able to download as PDF?
The Google Docs/Sheets exports links are as follows:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/<file_id>/export?format=pdf
https://docs.google.com/document/<file_id>/export?format=pdf
Use the HTTP “Get a File” module with these links.
Folder link to view the files: Document Export Test - Google Drive
Real DOC and DOCX files used:
