| Re: saving PDF's straight to Google Docs | AGC195 | 11/8/11 10:18 AM | Actually I found an easier option that doesn't require third-party software. Google has recently partially resolved this problem since I posted this. I don't know if this was a response to my postings in some way or if I just intuited the solution th |
| Re: saving PDF's straight to Google Docs | ilengr | 4/19/12 10:01 AM | Forgive me if there is a more recent topic that I just didn't find - is this still the only way to "save" directly to Google docs?

| Re: saving PDF's straight to Google Docs | MsKellie | 5/9/12 9:15 PM | This is driving me crazy, I'm sure I could do this recently, I'm sure there was something in the extensions or lab but I've spent over an hour trawling the web and can't find the 'on' button for this feature.

| Re: saving PDF's straight to Google Docs | bluemarble1 | 6/23/12 12:50 PM | I was able to save google doc into pdf using Chrome and "Print with google cloud printer" > Save to google doc.

| Re: saving PDF's straight to Google Docs | dziegman | 11/26/12 6:34 AM | Haha... it's supposed to be a hard drive. Perhaps the castle is supposed to look like Window's Firewall or something? :P If you hover over the icon, it should say upload. That's the fool-proof way to do it really. dziegman |
