Pretty cool! Check out Google's headless browser API Puppeteer too, they provide a few really useful functions for doing stuff like this.

Really easy to work around, I used it to build a simple CLI to generate device screenshots of a webpage by modifying the user-agent and resolution to match each device.

Yeah I think Puppeteer is a very cool project. Unfortunately, it came out literally one or two days after i finished the initial version of pdf-bot. Maybe I will incorporate it soon! :-)
