"Creating a 'Print-friendly' version of a LinkedIn post that can be shared as a PDF or PNG" - How hard could it be, right?

TL;DR: Use the JavaScript code from this GIST: https://gist.github.com/DinisCruz/d5e4bb4d8a6dcd7b25e31d160c747f1e

Unless I'm missing something very obvious, there isn't an easy way to create a PDF or a PNG image from a LinkedIn post (I need posts in this format so that I can easily share them on WhatsApp, Discord, or Slack).

As an example, I wanted to share the daily poem that I posted today (see https://www.linkedin.com/posts/diniscruz_here-is-a-poem-for-the-7th-of-march-2024-activity-7171459601492602880-Tkzs) with my family, which includes some members who are not on LinkedIn.

What I wanted was to create something like what you can see in pic2, i.e., a reasonably formatted pdf/png that allows for the easy reading of the post's content (and images).
