Hi

You should consider tapx-templating component at
http://tapestry.formos.com/nightly/tapx/ to see how page can be rendered

Also, we did that for Wooki at
http://github.com/robink/wooki/blob/master/src/main/java/com/wooki/services/export/FlyingSaucerInputRender.javaSolution
is not perfect but does the trick for wooki's book (i.e. try
download pdf at http://wookicentral.com/demo/book/1)
