Google Drive - Create PDF, Word, Excel Documents
Google Drive connects with Documentero to make it easier to generate and store documents directly in your folders. When a new file or update appears in Drive, Documentero can create custom PDFs, Word, or Excel files from templates. You can also use comments or folder activity as triggers to generate the exact documents you need. All generated files can then be saved back into Google Drive for quick access and sharing.
