Export a document as a PDF via app script api

Question

Is there a way to export / serve a document as a PDF via the API in google app script?

I know there exists a download as pdf option, but I am not looking for that. I am looking to create a PDF document in google drive via the app script API.

Yes. Try the File.getAs() method

I use this:

oOutputFile.saveAndClose();
DocsList.createFile(oOutputFile.getAs('application/pdf')).rename(cOutputName+".pdf");

where oOutputFile is my Doc, and cOutputName is the name I want to give to the file.
