Scheduled PDF Reports emails a Google Sheet as a PDF automatically: daily, weekly or monthly, even when the spreadsheet is closed. Free for one weekly report; Pro is €5 a month for all your reports. Questions or a problem? Write to [email protected] and we answer on weekdays.
How do I start?
Open a spreadsheet, then Extensions → Scheduled PDF Reports for Google Sheets™ → Open scheduled reports. Pick a tab and click “Email me this tab as a PDF”: the PDF is in your inbox in about 15 seconds. Then click “Schedule this report”, choose the day, time and recipients, and save.
Does it send when the spreadsheet is closed?
Yes. Google checks once an hour in the background whether a report is due, also when the spreadsheet and your browser are closed. A report set for 08:00 arrives between 08:00 and 08:59 in the time zone you chose.
A report was not sent. Why?
Open the side panel and click History on the report: every run says sent, skipped and why, or failed and why. You also get an email the same day if a report could not be sent. Common causes: the tab was deleted, the range no longer exists, or Google's daily email limit for your account is used up.
I turned a report off. Can it still send?
No. The report is checked right before each send; when it is off, nothing is sent. When you turn it back on, it does not send for a time that has already passed.
How do I put a number from the sheet in the email?
Type the cell in curly brackets, for example “Revenue yesterday: {B2}” or {Sales!B2} for another tab. The email shows the value as it looks in the sheet. Dates work too: {date}, {date:d MMMM yyyy}, {yesterday}, {week}. Cell values are a Pro feature; you can try them in a test email on the Free plan.
Can it only send when something has changed?
Yes, with Pro. Under “Send only when…” choose for example “Only if a cell is greater than” B2 and 0, or “Only if the tab has data”. Skipped runs show in the history with the reason.
How do I make the PDF look right?
Open the report, then PDF layout: landscape or portrait, fit to width or to one page, A4 or Letter, gridlines, frozen header rows on every page, and the spreadsheet or tab name at the top. Click Preview to see the PDF before it is sent.
I bought Pro. How do I turn it on?
In the side panel, click “I have paid – refresh”. Pro is linked to the Google account email you paid with, so use the same account in Google Sheets™.
How do I cancel Pro?
In the side panel, click “Manage billing”. You can cancel, change plan, update your card or download invoices there. Pro stays active until the end of the period you paid for, and your reports are kept.
