# Install PDFBetter from the Google Workspace Marketplace

> Open [PDFBetter on the Google Workspace Marketplace](https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/app/pdfbetter/993763678234), click **Install** and allow access. Admins can click **Admin install** to add it for everyone or for chosen groups. Then right-click a file in Drive → **Open with** → **PDFBetter**.

Do it in PDFBetter: https://pdfbetter.com/app/settings/integrations/

## Install it for yourself

1. **Open the listing**: Go to [PDFBetter on the Google Workspace Marketplace](https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/app/pdfbetter/993763678234). From Google Drive, you can also click **New** → **More** → **Connect more apps** and search for PDFBetter.
2. **Install**: Click **Install**, then **Continue**, and choose the Google account whose Drive you use.
3. **Allow access**: Google lists what PDFBetter asks for: your email address and the Drive files you use with PDFBetter. Allow it to finish.
4. **Reload Google Drive**: Reload any open Drive tab. PDFBetter now shows under **Open with** when you right-click a file.

The first file you open still asks you to log in to PDFBetter (or create a free account) and to connect Google Drive once, so PDFBetter can read that file and save PDFs back. [What happens the first time](https://help.pdfbetter.com/automation/open-from-google-drive/).

## Install it for your organization

1. **Sign in as an admin**: Use a Google Workspace admin account that can manage Marketplace apps.
2. **Click Admin install**: On [the listing](https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/app/pdfbetter/993763678234), click **Admin install**. In the Google Admin console, the same is under **Apps** → **Google Workspace Marketplace apps** → **Apps list** → **Add app**.
3. **Choose who gets it**: Pick everyone in your organization, or specific organizational units or groups, then accept the terms and permissions.
4. **Let your team know**: PDFBetter appears in **Open with** in their Google Drive. Google says this can take up to 24 hours.

> **Note:** An admin install only adds PDFBetter to the menu. Each person uses their own PDFBetter account and connects their own Google Drive the first time; PDFBetter reads someone's files only after they do.

## Uninstall

- **For yourself:** in Google Drive, click **Settings** (the gear) → **Settings** → **Manage apps**, then next to PDFBetter choose **Options** → **Disconnect from Drive**. Or open **Manage apps** on the Marketplace and uninstall PDFBetter.
- **For your organization:** in the Admin console, go to **Apps** → **Google Workspace Marketplace apps** → **Apps list**, open PDFBetter and remove it.
- Uninstalling takes PDFBetter out of **Open with**. To end PDFBetter's access too, [disconnect Google Drive in PDFBetter](https://help.pdfbetter.com/automation/google-drive-access-disconnect/).

### Does installing cost anything?

No. Files you open use your PDFBetter plan like any upload; the Free plan includes 3 edited-document downloads a month. See [plans](https://pdfbetter.com/pricing/).

### Can I install it with a personal Google account?

Yes. It works with personal Google accounts and with work or school accounts, unless an admin has blocked Marketplace apps.
