Converting all documents of a SharePoint Document Library to PDF

If all you want is to convert all the documents of your SharePoint document library or folder to PDF files in bulk, then click ‘Export Document Library as PDF’.

From the dialog box, you have multiple options for PDF conversions of the documents.

Option 1: Convert each document to own PDF file

By default, each document in the selected SharePoint Document Library or Folder will be converted to their own PDF file.

Optionally, you can also configure the app to export the metadata information of the document to a separate PDF file, or merge along with the document to PDF.

Option 2: Combine all documents into one PDF file

In this option, all the documents of the selected SharePoint Document Library or Folder will be combined and merged to one PDF file. And the generated PDF will bear the name of the SharePoint Document Library or Folder, by default. For example, if the name of your SharePoint Document Library or Folder is ‘Documents, the resultant PDF file will be named as ‘Documents.pdf’. You can of course, customize the name of the PDF from the dialog box below.

And this is how a single one PDF file, generated by combining all the documents of a particular SharePoint document library, looks like in PDF Reader software.
