[HUGO] Export an article to a PDF

[jwflory]

Summary

Add a one-click export option/button to export an article to a downloadable PDF document.

Background

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe:

Often with the Innovation Fund, we distribute multiple documents, agreements, and other resources at once when we bring in a new Innovation Fund start-up. Usually this is via Office 365 (Word) documents and PDFs. While it makes sense in this context to distribute files like .docx and .pdf, this method is also difficult to manage versioning and reliably maintaining a parent copy over time.

Describe the solution you'd like:

Some documents, which can be public, could be stored as editable source text in this repository. In the event where we create on-boarding packages tailored to a specific grantee, a one-click export of an article to a PDF enables parent copies to be maintained in GitHub, while also reliably fitting into this existing manual workflow.

Describe alternatives you've considered:

Not sure. This feature request requires more research on implementation before jumping in and writing code.

Details

The PDF export needs to be as simple as possible. The PDF metadata should also be derived from the document metadata defined in the article front matter. This needs research into the cleanest implementation possible. Ideally, it fits into the Hugo theme.

If it does not fit into the Hugo theme, we could explore some hacky ways of doing this in the Circle CI pipeline with pandoc, but that is a last-resort choice. It has messy design implications as a long-term feature, but addresses an immediate need.

Outcome

• New workflow: Better document versioning and easier to keep parent copies of important documents distributed on a recurring basis
• Old workflow: Distributing files at time of Innovation Fund on-boarding is still possible, fitting in with other documents we distribute unrelated to Open Source
