Mobile phones are increasingly used for work, sometimes replacing more traditional devices, such as computers. More and more functions can be performed simply from a smartphoneand it is increasingly common that many homes do not have computers, so it is important to know how to do certain things from a smartphone.
One of the most common functions when working with text files or spreadsheets is wanting to send them to someone via email. But you don’t want to give access to edit these sheets, so Sometimes it’s better to send in PDF format, which is usually read-only.
Google lets you convert both text files, such as .doc, and spreadsheets, .xls, to PDF files., very quickly, easily and of course for free. To do this, simply use Google Drive, an app that all Android phones have installed as standard.

If you want to save the file as PDF, select Keep asthen the option PDF document. If you want to share this PDF, it is more convenient to select the option Send a copySO PDF document then the app you want to share through.
