Converting attached files in Gmail to pdf using Google Scripts and Docs- Labnol.org help

Leave a Comment
In last post titled Convert files to PDF-www.pdfconvert.me   we get the email attachments converted to pdf by sending an email to attachconvert@pdfconvert.me  . Suppose instead of sending an email to your very own gmail id. 
For eg. your email Id is xyz@gmail.com and you send your mail to xyz+pdf@gmail.com to convert the attached file to pdf. One advantage of using this is that you don't have to remember that email ID of pdfconvert.me 

Requirements: Google ID
Considering email ID as xyz@gmail.com

Step1: Create a New Label named as "Converted PDF"

New Label- Converted PDF
Step2: Create a new filter with xyz+pdf@gmail.com

Creating Filter

Step3: Apply the new label "Converted PDF" to the new filter.

Created Filter with new label applied

Step4: Make a new copy of this google spreadsheet by labnol.org in your Google Sheets and type as shown in pic. After that Setup Auto-Forwards as described step wise in sheet.

Step5: Setup complete . So whenever you send an email with attachment to "youruserID+pdf@gmail.com" (here UserID assumed as "xyz") you will get a mail from pdfconvert@pdfconvert.me with your attachment converted to pdf.
