Get PDF of the current page in a Google Chrome extension

Question

There is code in Chromium that's used for generating a PDF version of the current page, before displaying it in Print Preview.

Is it possible for a Chrome extension to access this API, to get a PDF version of the current page?

Answer 1

Chrome does not offer any such API for extensions.

If your aim is to generate PDF files using Chrome, you can do that by Print > Destination > Save as PDF.
