I would like to create a workflow that can convert an HTML page to a pdf file. The image below is an example of what the web page looks like with a map, this map is purely an html file with a layout created in html and request GET links loaded by the website. Can this somehow be read in' as is' via FME and converted to pdf?
I am currently using ColdFusion to render this page and save it as pdf .Unfortunately, this process is very intensive and I would like to put the last paret of this process to an FME server.

In that case, yes, you can use an ImageFetcher to grab the images and a HTTPFetcher to grab the page itself and then produce the layout with the PDFPageFormatter. Speaking from experience, it can be a bit of a hassle to get it looking really nice, but the overall layout doesn't look too difficult.
Just for clarification: you technically wouldn't be converting the HTML page but rather you'd be rebuilding it.

The images are generated with get requests in code requesting PNG's in the DPI that i need and are not saved in the HTML itself except for the code that is requesting it. This keeps the size of the HTML to 30kb per sheet.
