I've been using the Markdown Reader Chrome extension and using the browser print function to do this kind of conversion.

What would be really useful (to me personally) is a tool that renders plantUML/mermaid embedded into markdown to a PDF. I haven't been able to find a simple solution that doesn't require writing code to integrate the libraries together, or rendering the images separately and bringing them into the markdown document (which is tedious).

check out markdeep[1] which allows diagrams (but I don't think it is comprehensive like plantUML/mermaid)

There is a filter for Pandoc that lets you embed PlantUML.
