gdoc-down 0.0.6

Download Google documents to files

gdoc_down

API and command line program to save Google documents to local files in several formats: * HTML (.html) * LaTeX (.tex) * Open document format (.odt) * Plain text (.txt) * Portable document format (.pdf) * Rich text format (.rtf) * Word documents (.docx)

The software has several special features for handling LaTeX files: * The program ignores all images. This allows the user to place images inside the Google document for convenience and to use to embed images in compile PDF files. * The program will convert all Google document comments to PDF comments. * The program ignores all page breaks.

The first time the program is called, the program will request access to the user’s Google account. This will create a client.json file in the users home directory (~/.gdoc_down/client.json).
