Cannot print/print to pdf local files without uploading to Google Drive (sh.itjust.works)

4 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Looking for some assistance on the title. All I've been trying to do is save a docx file as PDF from my phone. I've looked for articles and all but I do not have a print option from my file managers (regular Samsung and Material files).

I've tried the Share options across the board and used gdocs (as local) with no options for print or save as PDF on either front. Everything I've read is says i have to upload to drive before I can do anything and Im trying to de-google my phone.

Currently on Samsung galaxy Zfold 3.

Any help would be appreciated.

I don't have the google docs app installed, but I checked the sheets app, and it's got a print option under the share and export menu, and it offers to print to PDF.

If that's not working for you for whatever reason, you might need a separate app.

Thank you for the workaround, Sheets would not open the file though. I ended up dl Libera FD to share and save as a PDF that way. It worked out in the end, though I wish docs was more local friendly.
