In the spreadsheet app itself, you have the options to print only a specific sheet. You also can turn off the grid lines when creating the pdf from within the app. Is ther

Answer 1

this is a solution

var blob = DriveApp.getFileById(idsheet).getAs("application/pdf");
blob.setName("name".pdf");
var dossier = DriveApp.getFolderById("0Bx71KaTqXxQPQUYyVEVyYkJ0bEU");
dossier.createFile(blob);

Answer 2

I simply hide the sheets that I don't want put in the pdf

Answer 3

When you choose export to pdf, you get a messagebox with options. In the right side of this messagebox there are five checkboxes. Check the second one, then you will hide the gridlines in the export. I don't know the label of this checkbox, because I use another language than english.

Good luck!

Google apps script to create a pdf of a specific sheet of a spreadsheet.

function generatePdf() {
    var originalSpreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();

    var sourcesheet = originalSpreadsheet.getSheetByName("Sheet - Name");
    var sourcerange = sourcesheet.getRange('A1:G7');  // range to get - here I get all of columns which i want
    var sourcevalues = sourcerange.getValues();
    var data = sourcesheet.getDataRange().getValues();

    var newSpreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.create("Spreadsheet to export"); // can give any name.
    var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet();
    var projectname = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
    var sheet = sourcesheet.copyTo(newSpreadsheet);
    var destrange = sheet.getRange('A1:G7');
    destrange.setValues(sourcevalues);
    newSpreadsheet.getSheetByName('Sheet1').activate();
    newSpreadsheet.deleteActiveSheet();

    var pdf = DriveApp.getFileById(newSpreadsheet.getId());
    var theBlob = pdf.getBlob().getAs('application/pdf').setName("name");

    var folderID = "Folder Id"; // Folder id to save in a folder.
    var folder = DriveApp.getFolderById(folderID);
    var newFile = folder.createFile(theBlob);

    DriveApp.getFileById(newSpreadsheet.getId()).setTrashed(true); 
}

@rcknr, worked for me, more options below. (From: http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/apps-script/wQvCF6yY1Qk/R0uyVmf-Xx0J )

URL like this: https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/download/spreadsheets/Export?key=tOHm3f8tdIxf7tSZzWvBGiA&gid=0&size=legal&fitw=true&gridlines=false&portrait=false&exportFormat=pdf

other settings

fmcmd=12
size=legal/A4
fzr=true/false
portrait=false/true
fitw=true/false
gid=0/1/2  
gridlines=false/true
printtitle=false/true
sheetnames=false/true
pagenum=UNDEFINED
attachment=false/true  

true/false where sometimes required, I could not use 0/1 instead.

Unfortunately this currently isn't possible with Apps Script, but you can file a feature request on our issue tracker.
