Free > Custom "SaveAs" Script for BIG efficiency gains
Below we provide a small amount of google script.
This is NOT the typical type of information you will find in the Technology Club Core material.
What we want non-programmers to take away most is the idea that for some problems, there are some simple scripting solutions that you can comprehend and implement with just a little help from others.
We also added this example here in the FREE content area to attract javascript and google script programmers.
For most of you, just read this. Don't do it now. Just read it top to bottom.
- This needs to be added to a google doc to be used.
- This is going to give you an introduction to 1) google script 2) the scripting module in a google doc 3) an annoying feature of the save as pdf function in google docs (and other word processors) and 4) a one click workaround to it that is a BIG time savings for those in business who may be regularly producing PDFs from google docs.
- This is going to give you exposure to how we lay out something most of you think you can't do in a way that will make you realize it's been about bad teachers and people not sharing code readily outside of coding forums in a manner you could handle...
This is NOT the typical type of information you will find in the Technology Club Core material.
- We intend to offer an advanced club for those who are interested called the "DIY Software Club". This is the type of thing that would be covered in there for sure...
- This is the type of information you might be able to get pointers to from being part of the community.
- We are providing it here to show you where you can eventually go with this and also to show you something far more complex than you expected to see (to show you you can handle far more than you think right now).

- This stuff isn't magic.
- It just requires education and access to folks different from those you currently rub elbows with.

- Many of them don't "need" this Technology Club Content.
- Many have already figured out a lot of this and what they haven't, they can glean a lot from the content outline in this free section.
- As a community, we need them (programmers) as active members too, and hopefully this will show them this isn't all about basics either.
- We have a lot of stuff coming down the pipe that is very advanced for even the most talented scripting programmers, and you will need to be a member of this community to join us in those endeavors.
For most of you, just read this. Don't do it now. Just read it top to bottom.
- Prove to yourself you can follow a very technical lesson if it's presented properly.
- You can handle so much more technologically than you ever thought. "They've" just been hiding it from you for so long, you started to forget how much you could do for yourself with just a little good instruction.
