I'm thinking there aren't a lot of responses because this is not as trivial a problem as the OP appears to think. I've seen mention of both iText and FOP, but in my experience, neither can easily go from HTML to PDF. I know, personally, I have trouble creating HTML that will render consistently across browsers, to try to create a tool to render HTML and output a PDF is a tall task. Maybe rather than trying to find a Java library to do it, you could look into hooking into a rendering engine (Gecko? WebKit?) and then linking to a Ghostscript libraries. If you're a talented C Programmer, you might be better off in this situation. Of course, if you are not required to generate a PDF that resembles a view that a browser would render, then you might be able to find an XSLT that transforms XHTML into XSLFO which FOP could then convert to PDF. However, since you mention that you want to load a page from a URL, I'm guessing that you can't trust the source doc to be valid XML.
