The impl for making sakaidocs indexable relies on phantomjs as there seems to be no option to get the parsed HTML out of wkhtmltopdf (correct me if I'm wrong though!) PhantomJS has an option to export to PDF but it's not nearly as good as wkhtmltopdf. It does have a good PNG export mechanism but that's obviously not what we want here.
It's a bit of a shame we need two separate tools for this. It would've been much better to just use wkhtmltopdf for both of them.
