Export to Google Drive 

Transfer your PDF document directly to your Google Drive with the ability to control which folder destination and whether you want to overwrite an existing version if the same file already exists in Google Drive. See our article Save or export from DocHub to Google Drive.

Export to Google Classroom 

If you are a student or teacher that uses Google Classroom, you can export your PDF assignments directly to your Classroom. Once you've selected the Classroom option in the row of export choices, click on 'Create Share Link' (if you haven't created a Share Link for this PDF yet), Upload to Google Classroom and follow the instructions in the dialog window that appears.

Attach to Gmail Draft 

DocHub will compose a new draft in your Gmail account for you with your PDF(s) attached and ready for you to send. Find out more in our article: Email your document as a PDF attachment. 

Export to Dropbox 

Export your PDF documents directly to your Dropbox. If you haven't authenticated your Dropbox account with DocHub yet, you'll be asked to log in and agree to the basic terms.

Export to Microsoft OneDrive 

Export directly to your OneDrive and choose a destination folder. If a copy of the file already exists in OneDrive, the new file from DocHub will overwrite it, but you can access previous versions or revisions of your file in the desktop version of OneDrive and online if you have a Business account with OneDrive.

PDF Options

Most export methods will include a section for PDF Options in the dialog with checkboxes to apply an action to the downloaded or exported version of your PDF. Choose from the following options:

Flatten

• Flatten fields (for PDF forms only)-  locks all of the form fields and embeds them into the PDF as permanent text.
