Can anyone explain what I need to do in FME to connect to an ArcGIS Pro Layout to create the PDF Map of the Layout. Do I need the FME Data Interop Extension in ArcGIS Pro to do this via Python? Does anyone have examples of this code?

You'll need to embed some ArcPy Python in your workbench. Here is an example of how to use ArcPy in FME:

And example of the script to export a layout to pdf is here:

and there is some more documentation here:
