Let’s set it up!

Step 1: Pin the playbook and integrate Google Sheets and Google drive to store the PDF files

First, click the “Pin it” button at the top of this page to save this automation. You will be redirected to install the browser extension when you run it for the first time. Bardeen will also prompt you to integrate Google Sheets and Google Drive.

‍

Activate Bardeen (or hit Option + B on Mac or ALT + B on PC on your keyboard) and click on the playbook card. The setup flow will start. Bardeen will ask you to specify the column that contains all the links in your Google Sheets spreadsheet. Enter the name of the column. For example, the column in our Google Sheet was named “Links”.

‍

‍

Bardeen will also ask you to create or specify a Google Drive folder to save the PDF screenshots.

‍

Click on “Save Input” and checkmark Google Sheets, your column name, and the Google Drive folder. This will save you time from setup in the future. You can edit Inputs later by hovering over the playbook.

Step 2: Run the playbook and save PDF screenshots to Google Drive from links in Google Sheets

To download screenshots as PDF files of websites from Google Sheets, press Option + B on Mac or ALT + B on PC on your keyboard to launch Bardeen. Click on the playbook card and enter the name of your column that contains the links.

Run the playbook to get full page screenshots downloaded and saved to Google Drive as PDF files. It will open each website, take screenshots and save the screenshots as PDF files to your specified Google Drive folder.
