Use with to-pdf plugin

[mapgccv]

Not really an issue, more an information/feature request.
I have just began exploring the usage of mkdocs for a big documentation project, and one of the requirements is to be able to also generate a printable version of the docs.

I have used the plugin mkdocs-to-pdf to generate a PDF and i was now trying to use mkdocs-drawio for diagrams embedding.

It works as expected (and really, kudos!) on webpages, but the diagram do not get exported to the resulting PDF; I am not sure if it is supposed to work at all, or if I am doing any newbie mistake, so I thought I'd ask here.

FYI, my mkdocs.yml relevant section is:

plugins:
  - search
  - drawio
  - to-pdf:
     enabled_if_env: PDF
     render_js: true
     headless_chrome_path: google-chrome

Thank you!

@mapgccv have you tried https://github.com/timvink/mkdocs-print-site-plugin ?

@timvink and me explicitly integrated the plugins with each other

@mapgccv instead of generating a PDF during build time you generate the default website as is and then have a print page in the browser and can print through Chrome directly.

Check it out for the docs:

@tuunit , thanks so much for the quick reply, I have indeed missed that.

A first go at that seems promising, although I would definitely need more customization options for the generated PDF. But the charts are perfect.
I will explore print-site a bit more then I'll probably open an issue there.

Thanks again for your very prompt support; if i may give an advice, i don't see (or couldn't find) an explicit mention to the print-page plugin in the docs (although now i clearly see you use it in https://tuunit.github.io/mkdocs-drawio/print_page/ .
It might be worth adding a little paragraph for whoever needs printed docs?

@mapgccv on top of my suggestion looking into the already existing integration. Maybe @domWalters is interesting in integration mkdocs-drawio into his plugin :) It would need to call the rendering of the diagrams like so:

@mapgccv @domWalters any updates on this or should we close the ticket?
