# Creating PDFs
The best way to create a PDF in Relay.app is to first create a Google Doc, which you can do in a few different ways:
1. Create a new document
2. Write additional content to an existing document
3. Copy an existing document (and optionally fill in placeholders, see [creating-templated-documents](https://docs.relay.app/actions-in-apps/creating-templated-documents "mention") for more detail)
The menu of automations for Google Docs
Once you have a Google Doc, you can use the "Export document" automation, which allows you to export the Google Doc as a one of a variety of filetypes (e.g. PDF or Microsoft Word).
The export document menu
Once you've exported the document as a pdf, you will be able to use it as an attachment in emails, upload it to file storage, etc.
