Include .pdf export in `ottr:export()` generated .zip file

[dbroockman]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Students using R Notebooks write answers to free response questions, then use ottr::export() to download .zip files, which they then upload to Gradescope. GSIs grading the questions must navigate pages of code to find the free response answers, instead of being able to read a clean PDF of just the free response questions.

Describe the solution you'd like ottr::export() exports a .zip file that includes a PDF with answers to the free response questions only. GSIs grading the questions can view a PDF that has just the free response questions, making the grading much quicker.

Describe alternatives you've considered Right now GSIs must manually scroll down to the appropriate questions.

Just to say - this is still of interest to us! 😀

ottr now supports generating PDFs as of v1.3.0. To use it, set pdf = TRUE in ottr::export. There is some remaining work to make Otter Assign set this instead of needing to do it manually, which will be included in otter v4.3.0.
