Answer 1

You want to retrieve the cells of A1:J22 and want to create them to PDF data.
You want to achieve this using Google Apps Script.
If my understanding is correct, how about this answer? Please think of this as just one of several possible answers.
Modification points:
In this modification, create a temporal sheet and copy the values of the cells of A1:J22 to it. Then, the temporal sheet is converted to PDF file. And, the temporal sheet is deleted.
Modified script:
When your script is modified, please modify as follows.
function onEdit2(e) {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var r = sheet.getRange('L6').getValue();
if (r == "Send") {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet()
var ssID = ss.getId();
var sheet = ss.getActiveSheet(); // Added
// var sheetgId = ss.getActiveSheet().getSheetId(); // removed
var sheetName = ss.getName();
var token = ScriptApp.getOAuthToken();
var email = "EMAIL HERE";
var subject = "Daily report ";
var body = "Please find the attached Daily report";
var tempSheet = ss.insertSheet("tempSheet"); // Added
sheet.getRange("A1:J22").copyTo(tempSheet.getRange(1, 1)); // Added
SpreadsheetApp.flush(); // Added
var sheetgId = tempSheet.getSheetId(); // Added
var url = "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/"+ssID+"/export?" + "format=xlsx" + "&gid="+sheetgId+ "&portrait=true" + "&exportFormat=pdf";
var result = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, {headers: {'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + token}});
var contents = result.getContent();
MailApp.sendEmail(email,subject ,body, {attachments: [{fileName: sheetName + ".pdf", content: contents, mimeType: "application//pdf"}]});
ss.deleteSheet(tempSheet); // Added
}
}
