A fork of Jancurn's url-to-pdf act with added name input & and delay until network is idle. Opens a web page in headless Chrome using Puppeteer and prints it to PDF. The input is a JSON object such as: { "url": "https://wiki.org", "pdfOptions": { "format": "a4", "printBackground": true }, "name": "Wiki.pdf" } The "pdfOptions" object is passed to Puppeteer's page.pdf() function - see https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/blob/master/docs/api.md#pagepdfoptions Output is a PDF file.
