The script works fine except the pdf are not being generated while using Chromium browser instead of Chrome. I have not tried it for Chrome yet. The --print-to-pdf is not working in the script though no exception is being generated.
bug
So as a quick fix, I used wkhtmltopdf but the pdf output rendered by it is not up to the mark. Am I wrong or the code needs a bit tweaking?

Looks like like chromium-browser is pinned at v58 on ubuntu 16.04, I recommend installing it using their script instead to get the most recent version with PDF support:
