gdoc-down also has special features for handling .gdoc files that contain LaTeX:

• gdoc-down ignores all images. This allows the user to place images inside the Google document for convenience and to use includegraphics to embed images in compile PDF files.

• gdoc-down ignores all page breaks.

The first time gdoc-down is called, gdoc-down 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).
