Headless Chrome PDF Maker

Usage:

Note: this server requires the HTML to be provided by a server, it doesn't work on bare .html files. The easiest way to do that is to host a local server by running python3 -m http.server 8000.

Then, provide the script with a URL to the file, e.g. http://127.0.0.1:8000/my-file.html.
