QuestPDF: Modern .NET library for PDF document generation
I've been using Rotativa[1] for URL to PDF generation which is also a wrapper for wkhtmltopdf. They have a dotnet-core[2] version and also a SaaS[3] but I think it's worth mentioning that Azure PaaS supports wkhtmltopdf natively[4] so I just self-host.
Looking at QuestPDF's API docs, it doesn't look like they support URL / HTML to PDF generation. I think this would be a great addition especially given the age and issues with Rotativa and TuesPechkin on their GitHubs.

Programmatically Rendering PDFs from HTML using Chrome and Puppeteer
I've used numerous technologies for doing that conversion, including WebSuperGoo's ABCpdf.net, and Rotativa's free library. (We even have an article on how to use it.) The latter is still in use on some of my projects, but it—and its newer .Net Core version—is based on wkhtmltopdf.exe, which is a problem. More about that later.

Get attributes from another session without loading that session
Thanks for the suggestion! KnpSnappyBundle was my initial way to go as well, but my pages use quite some Javascript (chartJs) to render and I couldn’t get wkhtmltopdf to work with it. As it seems wkhtmltopdf does not support ES6 https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf/issues/3596 so I was forced to find another way.

Fixed width tables in PDFs
Of the HTML-based pdf-engines pandoc supports, prince would have the best typography, but I don't like recommending Prince because it's proprietary and costs money. (I try to stick to open source when I can.) wkhtmltopdf is the fastest, but uses a pretty old codebase, and doesn't even support paged/print css. weasyprint is a little better in my experience, but still has a ways to go typographically. pagedjs-cli is just a wrapper around headless Chrome/Chromium, and while Chrome has made improvements with regard to typography, Google turns off some of those features (e.g., hyphens) in headless mode, which is annoying.

Since the srd uses standardized links (base/creature type/creature name) you could make a list of urls based on your selected monsters in a spreadsheet, then use a program like https://wkhtmltopdf.org/, https://www.weenysoft.com/free-html-to-pdf-converter.html, or the url conversion feature in Adobe Acrobat Pro if you combine all the urls into an htm for Acrobat to pull from.
