Everything is possible to export to PDF.

You could use basic IText(is in Exporter project also used).

First of all you create a class where you create your PDF document.
In the constructor you could give the data needed to create the class.
This will contain a method like this :

public byte[] createDocument(ByteArrayOutputStream out) throws DocumentException, IOException {
    Document document = createDocument();
    pdfWriter = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, out);
    document.open();
    createDocument(document);
    document.close();
    return out.toByteArray();
}

 protected Document createDocument() {
    return new Document(PageSize.LETTER.rotate());
}

protected void createDocument(Document document) throws DocumentException {
     //example code :
    PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(1);
    PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase(" "));
    document.add(table);
}

and in the viewmodel you need to give the PDF to the client :

 try (ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream()) {
     Filedownload.save(report.createDocument(out), null, "someName.pdf");
 }
