PDF support

Great point, Ali! The option to download documents as PDFs would definitely enhance user experience, making it easier to save and share important information. It reminds me of how sometimes we need a way to kick the buddy of our workloads and streamline tasks. A simple click for downloading would surely lighten the load!

How many Docusaurus team will be ignored this top needed functional? One more 6 years?

I'll go one step further. TechComms groups in commercial organizations are often called upon to generate PDF versions of entire guides or references for various reasons ranging from supporting an in-process deal negotiation to supporting unusual on-premise installation needs, such as installing into secure air-gapped environments.
CMS tooling such as MadCap Flare, Document360, and Confluence recognize and support these use cases by enabling a multi-select manifest of all topics (all .md and .mdx files), that enables you to print multi-topic outputs with configurable front matter and configurable headers/footers.
It would therefore be great if any native PDF functionality developed by the Docusarus team would also support some type of multi-topic PDF output, with properties that enable you to define cover page title, cover page logo, copyright and legal disclaimer content on the 2nd page, auto-generated TOC starting on the 3rd page, and customizable header and footer content.

I am running md2pdf right now to deliver pdf to our customers. But I agree with you. It would have made it easier if there was a button that you could press :)

Benjamin Develop: Do you create the pdf file during the build and then upload to the hosting? Many thanks in advance
