I would like to generate slides using data I have in a Google Spreadsheet. I already use Google App Scripts for the spreadsheet and they are very handy. I can't however find a way to generate pages with a background image and export it as a PDF file.
This would be very appreciated because I have to generate ~1000 pages.
Advance slides automatically while you present Open a presentation in Google Slides. In the top right corner, click Slideshow . Auto advance options. Choose how quickly to advance your slides.
Click the three dots on the right of the Presenter Toolbar, then move to AutoPlay. You'll see a pop-out menu that lets you select the advance timing for the slides. You can pick from every second up to every minute. If you also want to loop the slideshow, select “Loop” at the bottom of the pop-out menu.
Google Slides is an online presentation app that lets you create and format presentations and work with other people.
This isn't supported at this time. Refer to Open Issue 1573. Star it to add your vote and receive updates.
Seems like Google released a Slide API in Google API Section today:
https://developers.google.com/slides/
Now you can use some server code (Java, php, [...] ) using Google services (Google App Engine e.g.) that create/manage Google Slides and then call it with Requests in Google App Script.
Ps: But still not available natively for Google App Script.
See this example answer which shows a simple request as part of another solution within Apps Script. Combined with the REST reference it should be possible to do whatever you want.
