Hi,
This wiki page shows how to wire the transformer in.
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Content_Transformations
The transformer self-registers, so the Web Client doesn't need any special config if you are using standard mimetypes. Put on the logging as shown to ensure that your bean is being picked up and registered. In the UI, you can configure a rule to do a transformation to XML when a CSV file is dropped in. The transformation registry will automatically pick your transformer out for the job.

On the issue of HTML to PDF, do you know which transformer is being used for the job?

Regards
