Google Docs Help: sharing PDFs

Help us improve our Help Center by editing this article.

To share a PDF from the Docs list, follow these steps:
  1. Select the PDF you want to share and click the Share button.
  2. Enter the email addresses of the people or mailing lists that you'd like to add.
  3. Choose "as Collaborators" or "as Viewers" from the drop-down list.
  4. Add a message and click Send Invitation.

Even if you've previously shared the document with the people to be notified, they'll still receive the invitation you send.

If you don't want the people you have shared it with to receive an invitation click: Skip Sending Invitations

A few things to keep in mind:

  • You can only share PDFs you have uploaded to Documents and that appear in the Docs list, not the original PDF.
  • It's not possible to share PDFs with mailing lists or publish a PDF so that anyone can view.
  • If you share a PDF with someone, that person needs to have a Google Account to access it.
