Is there a way to automate map creation in FME for Esri? I've looked through the documentation and can't seem to find anything.

I'm not sure what you want to achieve?

Say I have ongoing projects which require the exact same maps. Sometimes 5 maps depending on the area and sometimes 25 maps. Is there a way to automate this using FME or would I need to do the automation through ArcMap/ArcPro? I've been looking around and can't seem to find a way to do this using FME.

I think you are looking for the MapnikRasterizer.

Thanks for finding this. I don't want a raster output though. If they have this though there must be something else available for just vector data.

What should the outputformat be? It is possible to write to pdf.

Another alternative is to write to html using the HTMLReportGenerator, with an Feature Layer url.
