If you build websites, you inevitably run into problems. Maybe there’s no way to achieve an aspect of your design using CSS. Or maybe there’s a device feature you really wish you could tap into using JavaScript. Or perhaps the in-browser DevTools don’t give you a key insight you need to do your job. We want to hear about it!

I have a data viewing web app and I routinely want to make several prints of a particular session, e.g., different files, same viewing parameters. I want to be able to automate the print as pdf process. Ideally I could use the FileSystem API and select a folder and fill it with several pdfs that I currently have to save individually through the print dialogue. There are existing javascript pdf writing libraries, but they do not do as good a job as the built-in browser save as pdf functionality. Thanks for your time.
