How does Google Drive export files in different format such as PDF?

It is difficult to understand your exact issue, but I have a few examples and tools that illustrate uses of PDF exports and Google Docs. The answer to your question most likely depends on what program you export from when creating a PDF. I hope one of my answers helps, but if none do, shake the eight ball and ask again. ;) Scenario One You currently have a PDF file, and you would like to have the ability to view and/or edit this file using Google Docs In your web browser, type http.//drive.google.com in the address bar (You will be prompted to log into your Google Account). In Google Drive, click the red "NEW" button in the upper left corner. Drag the file from your desktop to the Google Drive window (or click the button to select your PDF from your computer files). Once the PDF is uploaded to Drive, locate and right-click on it. Select "Open with Google Docs" from the menu. Google Docs will take a few moments to load (or a few minutes, if the PDF is very large). When it is loaded, you'll see an image of each page from your PDF file, as well as the text from each page below in editable format. Here is an example of one PDF that is opened in Google Docs.

Scenario Three The desire to use any program other than Microsoft Word stems from a deep, possibly unrecognized revulsion for the entire Windows operating system, driving you to seek out extreme measures for exporting PDFs to Google Docs. Note. This satirical solution to a somewhat uncommon scenario is derived from humorous perspective based on the author's personal experiences, and distaste for the Windows operating system. DO NOT follow these steps without researching the process for your specific hardware. You should feel confident enough to alter your computer's operating system (and at peace with the risk of possible irreparable damage to the OS). Smile, your mileage may vary. Follow this guide Install Ubuntu 14.04 In Dual Boot Mode With Windows 8 Or 8.1 UEFI Boot into Ubuntu (or an open-source operating system of your choice). Open up your web browser and go here. OpenOffice.org2GoogleDocs - export & import to Google Docs, Zoho, WebDAV Download and save the extension file. Open LibreOffice, a Free Office Suite. Under the Tools menu, click Extension Manager. In the Extension Manager window click "Add..." Locate and select the file ooo2gd_3.0.1.oxt (in the user's Downloads folder, by default). After adding the extension to LibreOffice, open the File menu at the top and hover over Google Docs & Zoho. Click Configure in the sub-menu. When configuration is complete, you can export files as PDFs directly to Google Docs with LibreOffice, eliminating the need for Microsoft Word. You can also open/edit/create/save documents in Microsoft Word format, should the need ever arise. Celebrate, you'll probably boot into Windows once or twice a year at the most, for some rare silly reason or another. Hope this helps!
