Finally foud a solution :

curl -D- -u user:password -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" "<confluence_ url>/spaces/flyingpdf/pdfpageexport.action?pageId=123456789" > curl_ouput.txt
## Read response and extract URL for downloading file
FILE_LOCATION=$(grep "Location: " curl_ouput.txt | sed 's/Location: //g')
## Remove newline character at the end of the url
FILE_LOCATION=${FILE_LOCATION%?}
## Download PDF file
curl -D- -u user:password -X GET -H "Content-Type: text/html;charset=UTF-8" <confluence_url>${FILE_LOCATION} --output fileName.pdf
rm -f curl_ouput.txt

Use wkhtmltopdf to perform the conversion from html to pdf.

You can also convert an existing website to PDF

$wkhtmltopdf  https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Confluence+Publisher+Plugin#space-menu-link-content demo.pdf

Note: technically Google Chrome's rendering engine is Blink, which is a fork of Webkit. There is >90% of common code between Blink and Webkit, so you should get a similar result.

if your getting error 

QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display 
Aborted (core dumped)

try to install

sudo apt-get install xvfb

and then try this 

 xvfb-run wkhtmltopdf  https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Confluence+Publisher+Plugin#space-menu-link-content demo.pdf

Then you will find this pdf file as output in jenkins workspace.
