Description

As a user I can select members in the member overview and export them as PDF.

Acceptance criteria

There is a button in the member overview "Export to PDF (<number of selected members/if none all>)"
If the button is clicked and members are selected those members will be exported
Only the visible columns are exported
If no members are selected all members are exported
The content is horizontally distributed
The PDF pages break in a userfriendly manner

Multiple possibilities:

Focus easy to integrate and good layout: ChromicPDF (https://hexdocs.pm/chromic_pdf/ChromicPDF.html#module-usage)
positive: easy to define layout
downside: dependencies and possible security issues when running a browser for pdf export
Typst/Imprintor,
positive: no dependencies on chrome, less security considerations
downside: more effort to define the design
Simple and out of the box approach -> clikc print and export to pdf
positive: no dependencies needed
downside: layout often different among browsers, not stable, more a quick solution

I decided to go for the second approach.
