tldr: is it possible to run electronpdfservice standalone without the REST server?

I have a local hosted wiki on my laptop for school purposes, i was wandering would it be possible to run this service as a standalone as i do not need the features of REST and do not have resources to run it. Need a pdf solution.

Technically, this extension here is not providing a REST service. All it really does is redirecting the user to a URL, which might be a REST endpoint. We are using the software provided at https://github.com/msokk/electron-render-service, but we can't help with that.

In case the only "PDF solution" you need is to have individual pages exported as PDF, you can use your web browsers "print to PDF" feature. All modern browsers do this, and MediaWiki takes care that the resulting PDFs look good.
