How to get a PDF version of a Google Drive file such as Google Docs, Google Sheets, or Google Slides?

Hello Troy,

thx for sharing. Question, is there a possibility to save the pdf with a variabel name. I create invoices through Zapier. Via Gsheets and GDocs I create the invoices, now I would like to save them in PDF with the invoice number as name, which is in the spreadsheet.

Best Regards, Thomas

@Troy Tessalone I am getting a timeout error when uploading to GDrive and issues using the application/pdf link as email attachments

Have you got any insight here?

Make sure the GDrive files are publicly accessible to be used in the Zaps.

You can either change the parent GDrive Folder permission settings so that all the files within the folder inherit those permission settings.

OR you can add this Zap step:

Hi! 

I have the same problem, but unfortunately don’t understand the solution. I have a GDrive folder where my Docs (previously generated from a Template) land based on a previous Zap.

Now I would like to do the following:

When a new doc is added to this folder, I would like to convert it to a pdf and being sent to a specific e-mail adress.

Could you help me please?

Hi @Elina 

Try these Zap steps:

1. Trigger: GDrive - New File in Folder
   1. This should return the pdf version of the GDoc
2. Action: Gmail - Send Email

Hey guys,

This thread mentions also addressing google sheets but I can't find it here. I am currently looking to be able to export google worksheets as separate PDF's. The first is a master board, the second one with info. Around 30-40 worksheets after that (that are based on the master board) need to be exported as PDF. How do I do this?

Best to post your own topic with screenshots showing how your steps are outlined and configured.
