How do I export a Lucid Document as a PDF via API

Hi All

We have an enterprise account, and I would like to export my chart as a pdf through the API, using PowerAutomate.

After a week of struggling, I’ve got it to export as PNG, but the issue is the low fidelity, as this is a very big, single page document. 

I’ve tried looking at the documentation and even the forums, but can’t find any info on how to export as PDF instead. 

Please help a brother out 😭

Hi ​@marnusvd 

Lucidchart API currently does not support PDF export, only image formats PNG, JPEG are available via the export endpoint - to learn more - Export a page to PDF through the API | Community

Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!
Thank you very much and have a great one!
Warm regards

Hello marnusvd, I am investigating now and will be in touch soon. Can you send me the `documentId` privately?  I won’t have access to the document, but can check the logs to learn more about what is happoening.

Thank you all for your help, it seems it is possible.. but only with an add-on, very disappointed that this feature is behind yet another pay wall.
Which wouldn’t be as bad our API export file limit wasn’t as small as it was...
