Hello @fdmutiajr​, you may need different transformers to do pre-processing steps depending on the features in your MXD/MapPages, but you'll want to look at the PDFStyler and PDFPageFormatter. The best tutorial for you to reference may be: Creating PDF Cartographic Output in FME. Just a note, when writing to PDF, feature order is really important and you'll often need to sort your output (I believe there are tips in the article for this as well!). Once you get started, let me know if you have anymore specific questions. Happy to help, Kailin.
