What do you think of having a "one big page" PDF mode? More like the way image screenshots work.

I built this for notebook as PDF so I could contribute that implementation if you like.

In reality it isn't a "one big page" mode but a "least number of page breaks" mode because PDF viewers have a maximum page length that works (something like 200inches).

Adding --selector option would be a nice enhancement...

LOVE this idea.

I'm not sure how that would work. In regular mode we use Playwright's ability to take a screenshot of just a specific element... but there isn't an equivalent option for PDFs.

I guess we could try to crop the visible page down to just that selector and then generate a PDF of the whole page somehow. Sounds tricky though!
