Export a Chartist chart to pdf document (jspdf)

I'm in a situation were I need to output a chart into a javascript-generated pdf document using jspdf.

I want to convert the charts that are displayed on my website.
I'm using Chartist for this.

Is there any way of doing this?

you can check out the addHTML function for jsPDF, it should give you a clean copy of the canvas

const pdf = new jsPDF('p','pt','a4')
const chartistChart = document.getElementById('your-chartist-chart')
const previewPane = document.getElementById('preview-pane')

// addHTML is marked as deprecated, see links below for further information
pdf.addHTML(chartistChart, function() {
    // Get the output pdf data URI
    const outputString = pdf.output('datauristring')
    // Changes the src to new data URI
    previewPane.attr('src', outputString)
})
