I have verified this PR works with
What else has been done to verify that this works as intended?
The code is only used for PDF generation. Therefore, I've only tested the PDF API endpoints.
Why is this the best possible solution? Were any other approaches considered?
I concluded that the issue is a bug in puppeteer in the printToPDF implementation of a '2d' canvas. Therefore, it seemed best to work around it. In the PDF view, there is no need for a real canvas, so converting canvases to images seemed an acceptable solution.
How does this change affect users? Describe intentional changes to behavior and behavior that could have accidentally been affected by code changes. In other words, what are the regression risks?
Regression risks are styling changes in the drawing widget or general images that unintentionally affect drawings in the PDF view.
Do we need any specific form for testing your changes?
