Identifiers will be unique to your organization. Ensure you use the identifiers from your account. Do not use the ID from the screenshot above because it will not work for you. ### Step 2: Generate PDF Once you have your identifier you can generate a PDF by using the [Export PDF API route](/api/documents/create-a-document-pdf-export). ## Examples ### Postman To send our HTTP request we are going to be using postman. Feel free to use whatever tool you want to make an http request to our Export API. **a. Add URL**
