If each spreadsheet row represents a person, request, invoice, certificate, or case record, DocForge can use a Google Docs template to generate consistent Google Docs and PDF files from that data.
Start small. A two-row test catches template and field mistakes before you generate a full folder of PDFs.
Keep one record per row in Google Sheets.
Create a Google Docs template with merge tags for the fields that should appear in the final document.
Open DocForge from the Google Sheets Extensions menu.
Select the template and map sheet columns to template fields.
Run preflight before generating files.
Generate one or two test documents first, then run the full PDF batch.
This is useful for certificates, letters, intake summaries, invoices, reports, onboarding packets, and other repeatable documents that start from spreadsheet data.
What to check before the full run
Column names
Make sure the row 1 headers match the fields you expect to merge into the template.
Template access
Use a Google Docs template that the same Google account can open and copy.
File naming
Choose a naming pattern that includes a stable field such as name, ID, invoice number, or request date.
PDF output
Review one generated PDF before producing the whole batch, especially if layout, page breaks, or signatures matter.
Where DocForge fits
DocForge is a lightweight Google Sheets add-on for teams that need repeatable document generation without maintaining custom Apps Script for every new template.
Boundary: test the output with a small batch first. If the spreadsheet contains sensitive records, confirm the template, destination folder, and sharing settings before a full generation run.
