Create pagebreaks in exported Obsidian PDFs.
Example:
# Heading 1
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type
## Heading 2 (pagebreak before this)
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.
Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s,
when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type

--- ( <-- linebreak )

I've created my own version of this for anyone who is interested. It should work with the latest version of Obsidian (Tested with 1.8.10 and up to 1.9.2).
