I have no formal tech training but have been designated the tech person for a small non-profit and needed to do exactly what this tutorial does in a needed it done last week time frame. Thank you for making these videos. They are a lifesaver.
Dude, you have absolutely no idea about how much easier my life has become since I found you. Of course it takes a little bit of time and brains to understand what you are explaining and adapt it to my specific needs (I'm no programmer), however... the time that this automations are earning me is countless,. My life is much easier now thanks to you. Thank you my friend, please, keep up the good work, we need you, hahaha :)
I want to sincerely thank you for all of these tutorials. I got my degree last year and have been working with Google suite for several years now and just scored my first freelance programming job building an application in Google suite for a company
With a little work, I was able to use this basic outline, modify it a little, and create an actual working invoice I can create from my phone that is ready to email without having to be near a printer and computer. I can now create an invoice immediately and email when I have finished the work order. Thanks for the video's... so much better than other YT channels.
Thank you very much for your tutorial. As of the present (2023), some methods in the code cannot be used, such as the "removeFile" function, which can be replaced by using the "setTrashed(true)" method.
Great, Lectures, Thanks and Kudos to You. Just Now Finished by creating interactive Email System for My Clinic in Dubai, Where Patient get their immediate health indicator report. Responses are Amazing. Learned from the master. Thank You.
Excellent video, very good explanations with all the necessary details to understand simply and quickly. Congratulations and thank you for the remarkable quality of your knowledge sharing.
The best part of this, aside from all these cool stuff, is how we were able to see the thought process of it all. Plus the troubleshooting bits really gave it an approachable feel. I feel confident I can do this.
Thanks a ton for making this very useful video. This covered a lot of use cases and opened a ton of possibilities for future projects!! Quick tip for anyone who is facing the issue where google doc is getting created with values from form but the PDF doesnt reflect it, you can just add this line below before creating the PDF ie, last line of the createPDF()
This is exactly what I needed! I am so proud of myself. I was able to follow along and using the Google App Script Reference you showed I was able to have it send as my alias and add an additional email to send the file to myself too! I will be doing more of your tutorials to learn more. And I have little to none Java Script knowledge.
This was AMAZING! It's the first time I've ever had no errors in my code. Thanks so much. I also appreciate how you didn't edit out your troubleshooting. That helped!
Hi! Were you able to make it work? I tried and copied what he did in the video but I got notified with exception: invalid argument: attachments I don't how to troubleshoot it. I have no background in programming. Can you help me? 🙂
I've tried and this is awesome. For me this method has create a paperless system for my work. Awesome..!!! Definetely going to learn alot from this channel. Keep up the good work.👍🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
TriggerEvent step seems to have changed since you made this video. Google sheet form submit event shows a caution message “make sure you use this form submit trigger with SpreadsheetTriggerBuilder”. I am unable to pass googlesheet info data - that comes from google form - to google doc variables using event trigger. Any advise?
Thank you for this awesome tutorial. I have a question. What if the respondent have to upload an image to the form which will be appear as gdrive link in spreadsheet. Then I want to show the image submitted in the PDF.
Hi! I have no training and new at this so this was perfect! Thank You! I am just having trouble with an addition. I added a column to the sheet to calculate two columns and just want to show the total on the google doc. It looks like it won't extract since it's a calculated value. Can you please tell me what script I need to accomplish this? THANKS AGAIN :)
I would try to pass the dependent cells values in your sheet into the script and use the script to calculate instead, then store that in a variable. I'd have thought it could pass calculated values....?
Thank you ver much Sir. I was looking for this for a long time. I don't know the coding, but i still managed to follow the tutorial and create the mail merge as given in the tutorial. One request to you Sir, please also show how to merge the images uploaded through the forms in the doc and finally in pdf. I collect the information of my newly admitted students via google forms in which, I also collect there photos(images). So please provide next part of this tutorial in which there will be solution for merging the images in pdf. With regards.
very useful, as i was searching this from since many time but it seems i wasn't having option other than an add-on, but you have done a grate job brother, thanks for this video !!
Thanks A lot. i Had a Small Issue ... How to Print Multiple Pages in 1 Pdf file? ( Mean Daily Entry as one PDF File or one Company invoices as one Pdf file)
Thank you so much ! I have a question : When a form es edited and resubmitted. The namedvalues code only returns the modified values, there is a way to get all the values of the current row and execute the pdf creation? I Will be very grateful for your response ! Thank you !
The best channel to learn about google sheet Question: When a form is edited and resubmitted. The namedvalues code only returns the modified values, there is a way to get all the values of the current row and execute the PDF creation ? thx
will it be possible to create pdfLink directly from google sheets without using trigger or after form submission function? Directly to generate pdflink in the google sheet and store the generated link in the pdfLink cell.
Thank you for this video. I learned a lot! I'm just wondering how about the google form requires to submit an image and the image will be used in google docs. I'm currently working with an Application Form that needs photo. Thank you
Thanks for the tutorial. Please help me knowing that if a respondent is uploading any file that appears in spreadsheet as gdrive link then I want to show that image in the pdf also. What should I do for that. Please reply.
Thanks again - I was also wondering if send email trigger can be put in place when a cell is populated manually in google sheets - i.e. when you manually enter a test result in the cell it will trigger to populate the PDF & then it will send an email with attached PDF to the person in the row...much appreciated
This was great thank you so much - it would be great if you can advise the code at the end of how we can password protect the PDF file so it can't be edited but you can print ONLY please
Thank you , its wonderful !!! Question- when I make the same form "edit response " and submit , it will fill in PDF only edited fields, not edited- will insert as blank , how do I deal with that to make them to pick up old values and fill in new PDF ?
Hi @ExcelGoogleSheets, I hope that you are doing very well! I made the script as you presented it, and was working very well, but at the momment it seems to have two problems, and maybe you have some information about them. 1) It seems that the "Class File" from Apps Script, the method "removeFile" used at the end of the script "tempFolder.removeFile(newTempFile); " isn't anymore supported, it appears crossed over in .gs . Could you recomend other method to do the same part of the script? And my second question, I receive this message of error: "TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'namedValues')" on the constant declaration, line 3: "const info = e.namedValues;" in the function declaration. Do you have the seame error message? Many thanks for your help!
@Learn Google Spreadsheets This was great thank you so much! - it would be great if you can advise the code at the end of how we can password protect the PDF file so it CAN'T be edited but you can ONLY print please
Fantastic! Thanks a lot for this! I already followed along with the create bulk PDF docs tutorial, and it worked like a charm! Then came here looking for triggers to make the script run automatically. This looks very very close to what I am looking for. However, I have one question. The Google Sheet from where I am pulling data into the Google Doc and converting to PDF is not connected to a Google Form. It is actually connected to Piotnet Forms on my WordPress website. Will this script run with a formSubmit trigger if it is not connected specifically to a Google Form? If not, can you please suggest a workaround if possible?
Amazing! Solves the headache I have to the tee.. Subscribed!! Can this handle multiple simultaneous sessions? What happens if more than one form is submitted at the same time? Worried about how temp file is handled and if it will throw an error. Thanks!
Assuming you're not going to have hundreds if submission within 5 minutes you should be fine. If you have too many submissions you may run into script execution time limits.
Hi, thank you for this tutorial it's excellent. I have created a first form that works perfectly. Now I would like to make one without using google form. I would like the pdf to be created each time a row is added. How can I do this?
You are amazing! You know your stuff. I like how you basically say "I'm going to do this and let's see how we do that". I noticed your permissions was causing drama to send the email. Would it be that the user of the form would have those permissions come up on their end and have to give permission too? I imagine it should be. Cheers
I had a problem with onsubmit form, because the template file needs to be public. (in the execution, i can see the problem) (i'm new in this) BTW Thanks, this is so useful for me.
Hi, I just used this video, and I have created a proper notification system, add as many emails to notify (through google forms), and create the log with google sheets. Great stuff. Thank you, I just want to create a customized subject for my emails using the google docs {} in my template. Can that be done?
This is a Excellent Video , I have a Question , How to Create a Pdf and Email if Data is submitted via WebApp , everything being the same. Thanks once again
Thank You !!! this is really excellent, you explained it so well, could you help me to add the total value while sending the PDF responses as it's only the form info fields. (eg if the form has the MRP and quantity, can we send the total value in the PDF.
if you want one image for you company or logo just add it to template if you want to add it to every one for employees just upload it to folder the read it and put the seam filed i hope this helpfull
This is awesome, congrats... I have a question, do u have a tutorial to do the same, but instead a doc template using a sheet? nos using text, just the range of the sheet. Thank U!
Thank you for this Tutorial, I had trouble deleting the temp Document. But on looking through the references the removeFile() method in tempFolder.removeFile(newTempFile); is depreciated. So all temp Documents end up on the root folder. A new way delete is rather simple, just use newTempFile.setTrashed(true);
that's awesome! well i do have a question , how do i replaceText in the createPDF method when i have added a column with lets say a SUM ? when the form is submitted , it inserts a row in the sheet , so i made another sheet2 with the main columns and some extras , how do I use these extra column content with the replaceText?
Amazing content! Can you please do a video with an uploading image? Exemple employers data and pic. I use gsuite files only work on my domain is that a problem to generate pdf with the pic?
Working as a teacher with limited eye sight - I too would like the complete script - zooming in to the video is a bit "challenging". thank you in advance if this is possible.
Thank you for your sharing. It is very helpful for set up the Google form to pdf. Is it possible to use a spreadsheet instead of a document as template? 🤔 Does this replace text functions still work on the spreadsheet?
Great video I love the simple step by step detail! Is there a way to add multiple quantities to different items for instance if I had a form where people ordered different types of shirts how could I program it to make a pdf that would capture 3 red and 2 blue shirts?
Nice video, but the removeFile() method is now deprecated. Is there another way to delete the tempFile? Also, it would be great if you can create a video just like this but using Google sheet as the template instead of a Google Doc file.

You have unlocked Pandora's box of creativity for me. Thank for teaching us🙏
Awesome! Plese don't get tired of doing more videos like this! Maybe you can share the script as well? Heh. :)
Oh, i would love it too!

Thanks a ton for making this very useful video. This covered a lot of use cases and opened a ton of possibilities for future projects!!
Quick tip for anyone who is facing the issue where google doc is getting created with values from form but the PDF doesnt reflect it, you can just add this line below before creating the PDF ie, last line of the createPDF()
openDoc.saveAndClose();
const pdfFile = pdfFolder.createFile(blobPDF).setName("My PDF");
this is actually life changing for cheap marketers like me, thanks for the tutorial, much appreciated!

Yes,
const ActiveSS = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();

const ActiveRow = e.range.getRow();
const Name = ActiveSheet.getRange('B'+ ActiveRow).getValue();
const ContactEmail = ActiveSheet.getRange('C'+ActiveRow).getValue();
