Logging custom functions using stackdriver in google apps script

Recently, console logging became available for Google Apps Script projects. It used to be impossible to use the Log service that comes with the GAS runtime, but now all you need to do is throw an exception. Exceptions get logged in stackdriver logging and when enabled, unhandled exceptions will not stop your script execution. This adds up to nearly 0 lag if you are using this feature (?) by purposely throwing exceptions, and you can get creative with your error message to avoid having to expand stackdriver's log messages (which are pretty comprehensive stacktraces!)

PDF Creator - Email all responses
=================================

When you click "Create PDF > Create a PDF for each row" this script 
constructs a PDF for each row in the attached GSheet. The value in the 
"File Name" column is used to name the file and - if there is a 
value - it is emailed to the recipient in the "Email" column.

PDF Create - Email on form submit
=================================

This script creates a PDF populated with the values submitted in a 
Google form.

The "on form submit" trigger needs to be manually created:

/**
 * Clear all of the config
 */

function clearConfig() {

  Logger.log('Delete Local Script Properties:')  
  if (PropertiesService.getScriptProperties() !== null) {
    Logger.log(PropertiesService.getScriptProperties().deleteAllProperties())
    Logger.log('  Deleted')

PDF Create - with rename and email
==================================

When you click "Create PDF>Create PDF" this script uses the data from 
the active row to construct a PDF in your GDrive. The value in the 
"File Name" column is used to name the file and - if there is a 
value - it is emailed to the recipient in the "Email" column.

var VALID_COLUMN_INDEX = 4
var EMAIL_COLUMN_INDEX = 3

function onOpen() {
  SpreadsheetApp
    .getUi()
    .createMenu('Validate Emails')
    .addItem('Validate Sheet', 'validateEmail')
    .addToUi()
}

function GET_ADDRESS(placeName) {
  var response = Maps.newGeocoder().geocode(placeName);
  return response.results[0].formatted_address 
}
