Trying to create multiple PDF for each row in a Google Sheet -


i trying create separate pdf each row in google sheet using google doc template. can work when use active row; however, when try loop createpdf function pdf left last row. thoughts deleting of files beforehand can't figure out error is. awesome.

var template_id = '1mxrm0kny8r7rolbou8ksuc8dovvh8pvtq-ec_nd3fuq';  function onopen() {   spreadsheetapp   .getui()   .createmenu('create pdf')   .additem('create pdf', 'createpdf')   .addtoui(); }   (var i=2; < 3; i++) { function createpdf() {    if (template_id === '') {    spreadsheetapp.getui().alert('template_id needs defined in code.gs');   return;  }  // set docs , spreadsheet access  var copyfile = driveapp.getfilebyid(template_id).makecopy(),    copyid = copyfile.getid(),    copydoc = documentapp.openbyid(copyid),    copybody = copydoc.getbody(),    activesheet = spreadsheetapp.getactivesheet(),    numberofcolumns = activesheet.getlastcolumn(),    activerow = activesheet.getrange(i, 1, 1, numberofcolumns).getvalues(),    headerrow = activesheet.getrange(1, 1, 1, numberofcolumns).getvalues(),    columnindex = 0,    filename =  activerow[0][0] + activerow[0][1],    pdffile,    pdffile2;   // replace keys spreadsheet values  (;columnindex < headerrow[0].length; columnindex++) {    copybody.replacetext('%' + headerrow[0][columnindex] + '%',                       activerow[0][columnindex]);                           }  // create pdf file , delete doc copy   copydoc.saveandclose();   pdffile = driveapp.createfile(copyfile.getas("application/pdf"));   pdffile2 = pdffile.setname(filename)   copyfile.settrashed(true);   return pdffile2;                    }}

tip: pay attention formatting code properly, because understand structure. here's have after passing through jsbeautifier:

var template_id = '1mxrm0kny8r7rolbou8ksuc8dovvh8pvtq-ec_nd3fuq';  function onopen() {    spreadsheetapp     .getui()     .createmenu('create pdf')     .additem('create pdf', 'createpdf')     .addtoui(); }  (var = 2; < 3; i++) {   function createpdf() {      if (template_id === '') {        spreadsheetapp.getui().alert('template_id needs defined in code.gs');       return;     }      // set docs , spreadsheet access      var copyfile = driveapp.getfilebyid(template_id).makecopy(),       copyid = copyfile.getid(),       copydoc = documentapp.openbyid(copyid),       copybody = copydoc.getbody(),       activesheet = spreadsheetapp.getactivesheet(),       numberofcolumns = activesheet.getlastcolumn(),       activerow = activesheet.getrange(i, 1, 1, numberofcolumns).getvalues(),       headerrow = activesheet.getrange(1, 1, 1, numberofcolumns).getvalues(),       columnindex = 0,       filename = activerow[0][0] + activerow[0][1],       pdffile,       pdffile2;      // replace keys spreadsheet values      (; columnindex < headerrow[0].length; columnindex++) {        copybody.replacetext('%' + headerrow[0][columnindex] + '%',         activerow[0][columnindex]);     }      // create pdf file , delete doc copy      copydoc.saveandclose();      pdffile = driveapp.createfile(copyfile.getas("application/pdf"));      pdffile2 = pdffile.setname(filename)      copyfile.settrashed(true);      return pdffile2;    } }

the indenting clarifies few problems:

  • the for loop on i in global scope, not part of function. therefore execute every time function in script invoked, not explicitly invocable, in function.

  • the function createpdf declared inside for loop. in global scope (see point 1), it's still available called other functions such menu created onopen(). however, because it's declaration, not invoked i loop! (this primary concern of question.)

  • there's return call inside createpdf() left-over original copy of code produced single pdf. because returns in first time through loop, still make single pdf. line needs moved or deleted.

    return pdffile2;

flipping couple of lines , deleting return should sort out.

var template_id = '1mxrm0kny8r7rolbou8ksuc8dovvh8pvtq-ec_nd3fuq';  function onopen() {    spreadsheetapp     .getui()     .createmenu('create pdf')     .additem('create pdf', 'createpdf')     .addtoui(); }  function createpdf() {   (var = 2; < 3; i++) {      if (template_id === '') {        spreadsheetapp.getui().alert('template_id needs defined in code.gs');       return;     }      // set docs , spreadsheet access      var copyfile = driveapp.getfilebyid(template_id).makecopy(),       copyid = copyfile.getid(),       copydoc = documentapp.openbyid(copyid),       copybody = copydoc.getbody(),       activesheet = spreadsheetapp.getactivesheet(),       numberofcolumns = activesheet.getlastcolumn(),       activerow = activesheet.getrange(i, 1, 1, numberofcolumns).getvalues(),       headerrow = activesheet.getrange(1, 1, 1, numberofcolumns).getvalues(),       columnindex = 0,       filename = activerow[0][0] + activerow[0][1],       pdffile,       pdffile2;      // replace keys spreadsheet values      (; columnindex < headerrow[0].length; columnindex++) {        copybody.replacetext('%' + headerrow[0][columnindex] + '%',         activerow[0][columnindex]);     }      // create pdf file , delete doc copy      copydoc.saveandclose();      pdffile = driveapp.createfile(copyfile.getas("application/pdf"));      pdffile2 = pdffile.setname(filename)      copyfile.settrashed(true);    } }
