Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It would be nice to have an export to PDF option for Observable notebooks. When a notebook is used for reporting scenarios in business settings, this feature would be quite helpful.
Describe the solution you'd like From the notebook's export menu, the user can select "PDF" as the export option. Optionally, the user could select which cells to export to PDF, orientation, fit-to-width.
Describe alternatives you've considered This can be achieved by individually exporting cells to SVG or PDF and stitching them together in another tool. Or screenshot utilities can be used. But it's very manual and with the screenshot you get additional menu items that aren't pertinent to the charts.
Additional context I'm thinking here about private Teams and sharing content where notebooks cannot be openly published. If a notebook can be published, a URL can serve as the report. That would be ideal, but isn't always possible due to company policies.
