Support PDF as output type

Would be a cool feature to have

Rendering a SVG graphic or rendering a website to SVG?

Rendering a website as SVG. I think there’s a way to use the pdf screenshot and Inkscape to get the SVG, but having that built-in would be helpful.

I think generating SVG is out of scope for this package as there's no easy way to do it. However, I'm open to adding support for generating PDF in the type option. Puppeteer supports PDF, but it will require some changes as it's not just a simple option like the other image formats.

When PDF is supported here, you could pass it to some kind of PDF-to-SVG converter.

I was using this library to export png's and now for another project I need to export PDF's. I just changed page.screnshot to page.pdf and works like a charm
