Address other PDF generation concerns related to simplicity and compatibility #14

Description

@rahmatkhah

Describe the bug
Two bugs:

  • not working on PowerPC
  • result PDF does not contain strings, i.e. cannot use pdfgrep, strings, text is not highlightable nor copy-paste-able

Moreover, Webkit is rather bloated (overkill for this task).
A re-implementation with LaTeX or just leaving the output as HTML is preferred.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to '...'
  2. Click on '....'

  4. See error

Expected behavior
Ability to select and/or highlight texts in generated PDFs.
