Google Drive will synchronize with PDF Architect allowing you to open files from this storage drive and save files directly to it.

You will now be signed in to your Google Drive account. PDF Architect will create a folder for your files and you will be brought to it.
You can sign out of your account at any time.

- Alternatively, you can click on the X next to Google Drive.
Saving a File
You can save new files directly to your Google Drive account. You may notice that the Save option is grayed out. This is because Save will only be used when you have already opened a file.
Instead, you will use Save as. This will create a new file even if there was an existing PDF.
- Click on Save as.
- Choose Google Drive.
- Name your file.
- Choose Save.
- Click the up arrow to change the Google Drive folder you are saving to.
- Double-click on a folder to access it.
Opening a file
You can also open files stored in your Google Drive folders. If the file is not already in PDF format, it will be converted to PDF as it opens.
- Click on Open.
- Select Google Drive.
- Double-click on the file you want to work with.
