Google Docs: Know full guide to insert PDF files in a document

Google Docs is a web-based word processor that has significantly enhanced productivity for individuals and organizations alike. The tool offers collaborative editing in real-time, allowing multiple users to work on the same document simultaneously. Frequently, when working on academic or professional projects, individuals require the inclusion of supplementary documents, often in PDF format, within the same file. Google provides a feature that facilitates the insertion of a PDF file into a document.

The sole disadvantage of this method is that the PDF is not displayed in an image format. Instead, in Google Docs, you can only include the PDF link, and the recipient of the shared document will need to move the cursor over the attached link and click on it to view the document. Furthermore, the individual will be able to view a miniature version of the image by hovering the mouse over the link.

How to insert PDF in Google Docs?

• Open Google Drive, and click on “New” in the top left corner. Then, select “File upload” from the options.
• Click on “Browse” and choose the PDF file you want to insert.
• After the file has finished uploading, select the PDF from your Google Drive, right-click on the file, and choose the “Get link” option.
• Copy the link and go back to your Google Docs document. Click on the spot where you want to add the PDF.
• Paste the link into your document. An icon displaying the PDF’s name will appear in the document once the link is pasted.
