I actually added an event handler to my page (could easily be a mixin) that returns the page as a pdf. I did somewhat cheat but it does work nicely. I use a HttpClient to request the same page again (with the sessionid so all session state is correct). From there on you have the exact xhtml you can use to generate your pdf (I use flying saucer) or whatever else you wish to do.
