Describe the feature:
Export Dashboard to PDF creates a text-based PDF with page.pdf():

page.pdf() generates a pdf of the page with print CSS media. To generate a pdf with screen media, call page.emulateMediaType('screen') before calling page.pdf()

We want to generate PDF reports by having Chromium print the page as a PDF file and return it to us. This will make text become selectable in the PDF file, and should hopefully have performance / storage benefits since the data is not rasterized.

Currently, we capture a PNG screenshot of the page and build a PDF file in the Reporting code by placing the PNG in a PDF layout, which is expensive on resources.
