I have a google sheet having 110,000 rows and 10 columns.
If I try to export using the normal File > Download > As PDF, it takes forever to make the Save button work (The ~4800 pages of the PDF keeps rendering and on a premature save, nothing happens) I have done this on Chrome, Firefox and Edge browser, just to see if changing browser would make a difference.
Then I tried using app-script, but the ones available on the webapps stackexchange did not work.
I know the solution will be with an app script code. What is the best solution for me to able to export the 1 million cell sized sheet to a PDF easily.
EDIT:
As per the comments below I did execute the 8 line code in the newer app script console of google,
function saveAsPDF() {const folderName = `Cubing`;const fileNamePrefix = `filename`;DriveApp.getFoldersByName(folderName).next().createFile(SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet() .getBlob() .getAs(`application/pdf`) .setName(`${fileNamePrefix} - ${Utilities.formatDate(new Date(), `GMT-8`, `yyyy-MM-dd`)}`)); }But I got a message which is not related to the code.
The execution log said,
Exception: We're sorry, no servers are currently available. Please wait a bit and try again.saveAsPDF @ Code.gs:7
