![]() This should be reported as a bug to the Google Docs team. Note, however, that the timestamps of the comments in LibreOffice are all wrong! They are offset by some number of hours, probably based on your timezone and how Google Docs keeps track of time. Hopefully Google Docs adds this as a feature in the future. It's not quite the same as what we saw on Google Docs online, since we used the free and open source, and no-cost LibreOffice program to produce the PDF, but it's got all the comments, including the author and timestamp of each, so it's good enough! Navigate to that saved file and open it up in your favorite PDF viewer now, and you'll see this: Now, click the "LibreOffice Writer" tab at the top -> and under the "Comments" dropdown menu, change it from "None (document only)" to "Place in margins", like this:Ĭlick "Print to File.", give it a name, and choose a location to save it. > under the "General" tab, choose "Print to File." as the Printer, like this: But, do NOT go to File -> Export As -> Export as PDF. Now, let's export this document as a PDF. The comments are shown, albeit a little uglier is all (well: the timestamps also have a time offset-see "Bugs" section below): When you open it in LibreOffice Writer, you'll see this. Tested in LibreOffice Writer 6.4.7.2 in Ubuntu 20.04.įirst, in the Google Doc, go to File -> Download -> OpenDocument Format (.odt). I'm on Linux Ubuntu 20.04 and don't have Microsoft Word, so I'm going to use the LibreOffice technique instead. Note: LibreOffice is free and open source software (FOSS), and no-cost ( NOT the same thing as "free"), which is awesome. Use Microsoft Word to helpįor the MSWord option, read here. The process is: Download the Google Doc as a Microsoft Word Document or LibreOffice document (my preference), then choose some special print settings to print as a PDF with the comments. ![]() ![]() Printopia's 20 cost has already saved me over 40 in cussing. ![]() The Printopia daemon runs invisibly in the background. The host Mac still needs to be running, but unlike handyPrint, does not need to be logged in. It definitely is possible, but it's clunky!
