I think you're overcomplicating it. I assume you created this markdown file and I assume you have a preview render that shows it the way you like it to be shown. So just hit the print button, and in the print dialog select save as PDF.

You are right if OP want to do this manually. If not I guess it is much more complicated, you would need some tool that allows you to print rendered markdown. Add one more step: convert print to PDF and effectively you have tool to convert markdown to PDF.

I do this with Chrome for my resume. Write it in Markdown, convert to HTML using Pandoc and then print it to PDF using Chrome.

Google\ Chrome --no-sandbox --headless --print-to-pdf-no-header --no-pdf-header-footer --enable-logging=stderr --log-level=2 --in-process-gpu --disable-gpu --print-to-pdf=resume.pdf "file://path/to/resume.html"

Pretty neat. Did not thought that it is possible. Thanks.

I’m not OP but e.g. VS Code markdown preview (which works great) doesn’t offer printing.
