Easy way to configure PDF output font size #1929

And possibly other aspects of PDF output.

We experimented with using a set of custom Bootstrap CSS for this, but it is painful. Ideally, we would like to configure this either via properties, or something like CSS variables.

Possibilities:

process .less files at runtime
- at least for PDF
- include Bootstrap
- then cache output
process .less files ahead of time, but with special markers
- for example, large font sizes we could easily find in resulting .css
- then replace values in CSS (NOTE: values can be calculated)
if less.js supported native CSS variables
- create some free native variables
- replace values in resulting CSS at runtime

Option 1 is probably the cleanest. Next steps:

[ ] check what it takes to compile Bootstrap + our .less at runtime

Also would like this to be configurable per form.
