One way to do it that is feasable, but does not produce good quality output (at least out of the box) is using CSS2XSLFO, and Apache FOP to create the PDF files. The problem I encountered was that while CSS-attributes are converted nicely, the table-layout is pretty messed up, with text flowing out of the table cell.
I also took a quick look at Jrex, a Java-API for using the Gecko rendering engine.
Is there maybe a way to grab the rendered page from the internet explorer rendering engine and send it to a PDF-Printer tool automatically? I have no experience in OLE programming in windows, so I have no clue what's possible and what is not.

Probably stripping it of all its nodejs dependencies, to run in the browser.
Check out iText; it is a pure Java PDF toolkit which has support for reading data from HTML. I used it recently in a project when I needed to pull content from our CMS and export as PDF files, and it was all rather straightforward.

This is how ActivePDF works, which is good means that you know what you'll get, and it actually has reasonable styling support.

Amyuni WebkitPDF could be used with JNI for a Windows-only solution. This is a HTML to PDF/XAML conversion library, free for commercial and non-commercial use.
