Submits a request to asynchronously export a Quip document or Quip spreadsheet to PDF. This call returns a request_id. Pass that request_id into the Retrieve Export PDF Response call to get the PDF URL and request status. Sample use cases: You can export a document or spreadsheet to PDF to mark an approval cycle as complete, take a record-keeping snapshot, or share the PDF with your leadership or with customers. - The appearance of the PDF exported using this method is typically the same as if you exported a document or spreadsheet to PDF in the Quip application. Sometimes there are minor formatting differences when you export via API. Example: bullets sometimes look bigger in a PDF exported via API.

  • You can use this method to complete a PDF export of a standalone Quip spreadsheet, not a spreadsheet inserted into a Quip document. When you do a PDF export of a Quip document containing a spreadsheet, the spreadsheet appears in the PDF.

  • You can export a maximum of 40,000 cells in a spreadsheet to PDF.

  • Charts in spreadsheets are excluded from the exported PDF.
