Export Domo cards to PDF

The code below can be utilized in a Code Engine package which will generate a PDF for each card on a page. If the content includes a table, you may get paginated results. In order to use this code, you will need to have the following:

A Domo instance
A page with cards on it
Access to Code Engine and basic knowledge of how to create a package

 * @param {number} numTablePages - The number of pages you want returned
 * One nuance on the “pages” property… let’s say you specify 30 pages, and its actually 22 pages…
 * you’ll get 22 pages. If you specifcy 30 pages and it’s actually 32 pages, you’ll get 30 pages.
 * So err on the high side.
 *
 * You can also get a PNG of the Card by changing the URL param: parts=image
 * There is a 25MB limit. The default url param is parts=image, which will return PNG’s. Changing that
 * to parts=imagePDF will save tons of space and you should get back all your pages.
 *
 * @returns {Object} base64 encoded PDF
 * @throws {Error} If the request fails
