I’m trying to get a DOI for a forum thread, because this is a conversation of high value. I want it to be cited. For that reason, I need to get it distilled down into a semi-professional PDF to submit to Zenodo.

This is an increasingly important thing to support. As academics are allowed to cite anything with a DOI. In fact, having facilities to ease DOI generation workflows would be really useful.
