Does anyone know if in FME it is possible to create a PDF with different layers (shapefiles) where you can switch off and on their visibility?

Yes, you can write geospatial pdfs to do this
There is an FME webinar that may be a useful starting point

Yes it is possible. You can use the PDF2D-Writer, but i dont know if you could set different layers on/off while creating.

There is a layer visibility on open parameter that you can set to control what is displayed initially

This is not exactly what I want. I need to read a couple shapefiles into a PDF, where I can turn on and off their visility, as you would do in an ArcMap/QGIS workspace.

@darius
To create individual pdf layers for every input shapefiles, use AttributeCreator for every input shapefile and add the "fme_feature_type" attribute assigning a name for every layer as you want it to appear in a pdf.
Then make sure to use @Value(fme_feature_type) as a name of the output pdf in the pdf writer.
Hope that helps.
