I had the same issues as Don and Unknown, but two hours later and with much trial and error searching the interwebs for alternate solutions and deleting my recently acquired malware acquired therein I returned to Skelton's site and figured it out! (One would think it wouldn't take so much time to figure out how to save time, but alas.)<br /><br />It seems Takeout only converts Google Docs to PDFs. Most stuff in Drive is automatically a preview-only version with a (W) insignia, which you then have to open as a bonafide, editable Google Doc with the [=] square sheet insignia. <br /><br />So here's what I did:<br /><br />1. Change the settings in Drive so that uploads are converted to "Google Docs editor format."<br /><br />2. Download my Drive folder onto my PC.<br /><br />3. Re-upload these very same documents in another folder. This time they will be [=] "Google Docs." <br /><br />4. Open Takeout and follow Skelton's instructions. <br /><br />Thanks for the tutorial, Skelton. PDF conversion's such a drag.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07588448524876379753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083825495664061008.post-59815413430031471772015-11-27T19:37:58.849-08:002015-11-27T19:37:58.849-08:00my try to convert word to pdf did not work either
