Install the Vivaldi browser. It has a neat capture facility designed for
screenshotting which creates a JPG or PNG from the *whole* page (ie tall
and narrow)...but then it's easy to cut it up and make a PDF.

It won't of course be a real typeset PDF...for that you would indeed
have to use a renderer like *htmltopdf but the problem is that they are
really not enabled for modern HTML5 pages: the markup is simply too sloppy.
