The error received is:

Cannot call DocumentApp.getUi() from this context.

This is consistent with the documentation for getUi():

"A script can only interact with the UI for the current instance of an open document, and only if the script is bound to the document."ref

Since your script has created a new document, "doc" it's obviously not contained in it - therefore it cannot manipulate the UI for doc.
