Here is a small google script (.gs) function. the above code will sent the google spreadsheet as pdf document through mail. you can specify receivers mail id, subject etc in MailApp.sendEmail function.

Then, if you want to invoke the function automatically use timer button.

Sending alert while opening a file using  google script

function sentOnOpen() {
  var sheetToPdf = SpreadsheetApp.openByUrl("https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AuhngraNMxhdFJnMANKALIGNBUnVUbTJVg2dE05Y0UEE&usp=drive_web#gid=0");
 
   var todayDate = new Date();
   Logger.log(" inside date "+todayDate);
   var htmlBody = sheetToPdf.getViewers()+" opened the Report on "+todayDate;
   var subject = " Report " ;
   var optAdvancedArgs = {name: "VIPIN", htmlBody: htmlBody};
   MailApp.sendEmail("belazy1987atgmaildotcom", subject , "Email Body" , optAdvancedArgs);
   Logger.log(" Sending email ");
 
}
