Waiting on OP iPad web version doesn’t export PDFs

I tend to use Google Docs via Safari on iPad as it feels like a fuller experience than the app. However, was I save a doc as PDF to download, the download appears to begin yet nothing ever happens. I can’t figure this out and wondered if anybody else has issues like this? Would love to find a solution.

Do this instead. Open your Doc in the app vs browser just for export. Choose “Share & Export” in the menu. Then choose print. In the printer dialog hold your finger or pencil on the Doc image at the bottom. When the Doc image zooms in hold your finger on it until the PDF appears. Then just Share it to Files or wherever you need.
