Implement pdf export button like in the R-web demo

example url from the demo:

@joshuaselsky is pdf export supposed to be done through an ohmage api?

[jshslsky]

@hongsudt Do we need PDF export for Mobilize?

[hongsudt]

Given that we already have png viz, pdf export is in the category of nice to
have.. So it can be waited.

I am not sure whether John has already implemented pdf API yet though...

I have not. The PDF button is the image saved as a PDF, and I can't think of a scenario where that is helpful. Someone might want to add the image to a PDF, but that is completely different. Is there a use-case for this?

[jshslsky]

If this is just nice to have, let's just move it to a later release.

Agree to move this to later release.

From my understanding, R allows you to specify the output format of the
plot. So in the pdf case, it is the rweb that send you the pdf file instead
of an image file.. @jeroenooms

Yes, simply replace /png/ with /pdf/ and remove the !width and !height parameters.

But, if we are going to route this call through the ohmage server, I need to change my header from image to PDF. This means that we need to add another parameter or new APIs, so it's not quite as simple.

Eventually, we could change this to go directly to the R server, so that the ohmage server would be unaffected.
