Adds the ability to export directly to PDF rather than depending on an external PDF printer driver. This results in a significant reduction in file size and memory usage, as the individual pages are cached in a temporary file when printing a multi-page document. The Apache FOP library provides the transcoder that converts the SVG document to PDF, and the Apache PDFBox library provides the PDF manipulation capability needed to assemble the individual documents to one multi-page document.

Adds an "export to PDF" item to the file menu, with submenu options that parallel the print menu.

The GitHub diff for UnitPrintManager makes the logic hard to follow. Basically what happens is the logic for instantiating the various record sheet classes is extracted from printAllUnits to its own method and shared with exportUnits. Most of the other print options are given an additional boolean parameter that determines whether to create a print job or export to PDF.

Fixes #342

Nice, works nicer than the Windows 10 PDF creation.
