Saving a web page to PDF

The shot-scraper pdf command saves a PDF version of a web page - the equivalent of using Print -> Save to PDF in Chromium.

shot-scraper pdf https://datasette.io/

This will save to datasette-io.pdf. You can use -o to specify a filename:

shot-scraper pdf https://datasette.io/tutorials/learn-sql \
