So you’ve downloaded your workbook and you want to fill it out across multiple devices.
Maybe you’re using a home computer one day, your work laptop the next, or just like having everything saved in one place.
The best way to do that? Upload your workbook to Google Drive.
That keeps it in the cloud so you can access it from anywhere.
How to upload your workbook to Google Drive:
- Go to drive.google.com and log into your Google account
- Click the “+ New” button in the top left
- Choose “File upload"
- Select your workbook PDF from your computer and upload it
Now your workbook is in Google Drive—but here’s where it gets weird.
Why your workbook might look “off” in Google Drive
When you open your PDF workbook inside Google Drive (especially in a browser), it might:
- Change the fonts
- Mess up the layout
- Not let you type into the fields properly
This happens because Google’s built-in viewer doesn’t fully support the design and form fields used in our workbooks. It tries to “guess” how it should look—but it gets it wrong.
So even though the workbook is saved in Drive, you can’t actually fill it out properly inside Google’s viewer.
Here’s how to actually edit it correctly:
To fill out your workbook and keep the formatting, you’ll want to open it using Adobe Acrobat Reader. It’s free and works on both desktop and mobile.
💻 On a Computer (browser only):
- Go to drive.google.com and log in
- Right-click your workbook PDF and choose “Download”
- If you don’t already have it, download Adobe Acrobat Reader for free
- Open the downloaded file with Adobe Acrobat Reader (not in your browser)
- Make your edits and hit Save
- To update your file in Drive, just drag and drop the new version back into your Google Drive
Tip: You can delete the old version or rename the new one to keep things tidy.
📱 On a Phone or Tablet:
Make sure you have the Google Drive app and the Adobe Acrobat app (both are free)
- In the Google Drive app, find your workbook and tap the three dots next to it
- Tap “Open with” → “Adobe Acrobat"
- Fill it out and save—your changes will stay in Google Drive
You can store your workbook in Google Drive, but you’ll want to use Adobe Acrobat to actually edit it. That’s the only way to make sure the fonts, layout, and fillable fields all work correctly—no matter what device you’re on.
