Markdown to PDF Action

This action will find any markdown, .md, files and generate a .pdf file for each one. This action can be used in conjunction with a commit action to add the generated .pdf back to the repository. The example shows how to...

1. Checkout the code
2. Convert all markdown files (.md) to .pdfs, Note: You can filter the paths to only run on certain file types.
3. Open a PR back to the repo with the generated .pdfs.

This action uses the pandoc library installed on Ubuntu.
