Print a HTML string to PDF

Say you have a cwebHTMLEdit and you want to print the HTML result to a PDF file with a fixed name and destination.

You can do it via: "wkhtmltopdf" (WebKit HTML to PDF)

You can find the tool on this page: https://wkhtmltopdf.org/index.html

Following is a DataFlex function that returns the full path for the exe-file (once it has been installed on the machine).
