view pdf file in a new tab after save on drive

[Ahmed General]

  I need help I need a script to view the pdf file in a new tab after making a save

[Brett Grear]

What context is the script running in. Is it in a Spreadsheet container?

If so, you can show a modal dialogue using HtmlService that either provides a clickable link to the PDF or you can trigger it to open automatically.

Ahmed,

As Brett already said, you have to run this code from your UI container.

You can check this snippet https://apps-script-snippets.contributor.pw/snippets/common_ui/open_url_in_browser/

Look at the part 

/**

 * User action

 */

function userActionOpenMyFile() {

  const file = DriveApp.getFileById(

    '17mpcNilHA43kWqYm8qHAwiwAqFJ1DQ9QENBXHa6CoDM'

  );

  openUrlInBrowser_(file.getUrl());

}
