[SOLVED] exporting spreadsheet to pdf then saving the file in google drive

exporting spreadsheet to pdf then saving the file in google drive

I'm having problems saving to google drive after printing a google spreadsheet to pdf. If i just put the "printurl" string into a browser, it will automatically give me the file. But I want it to be saved to google drive automatically. I've tried this code by borrowing code from other posts that emails a spreadsheet as PDF. But this produces a pdf that is unable to be opened. What am I doing wrong?

function printpdf() {
var spreadsheet_id="0Aiy1DTQRndx6dDRidXoxNzlXZFhxd2FITTlBbnUybnc";
var settings = '&fitw=true&portrait=false&exportFormat=pdf&gid=0&gridlines=false';
var printurl = 'https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/download/spreadsheets/Export?   key=' + spreadsheet_id + settings;
var result=UrlFetchApp.fetch(printurl);
var content=result.getContent();
var file=DocsList.createFile("temp",content,"application/pdf");
}

Here is an update to this question under the new oauth2 format.

Printing spreadsheet to PDF then saving file in Drive using OAuth2

Solution

You can do it in a much simpler fashion

function printpdf(){

  var spreadsheet_id="0Aiy1DTQRndx6dDRidXoxNzlXZFhxd2FITTlBbnUybnc";
  var spreadsheetFile = DocsList.getFileById(spreadsheet_id); 
  var blob = spreadsheetFile.getAs('application/pdf'); 
  DocsList.createFile(blob);
}

Note that the DocsList.createFile(blob) works only with Google Apps accounts.
