This example shows a map created with the ammap library. This library creates the map using SVG. I want to use this map in a PDF/XLS report that's generated on the server-side, so the first step (I think) is to convert it into an image format that can be embedded in PDF/XLS documents.

If you click the Export button the SVG is converted to a base64-encoded PNG and added to the DOM. In other words, the following element is added to the DOM (base64 encoding abbreviated)

<img src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAlgAAAGQCAYAAAByNR6YAAAgAElEQVR4nOydd3hU55n26aJJAoHoiN6r6WDAuFFscMXdxhgbG2PADWOK4ySbuok32V3vJrGdsmmbOP6SdbLxRqOu6XPOgCRUZ0aj3jUz0vQz9f7+ONJIozqjM">

However, rather than appending the PNG to the DOM, what I really want to do is upload the image to the server, is this possible?

I think you could send your png image to the server in a post request. With luck you could even get the .pdf result in that request. Check the instructions on how to retrieve the binary data for your image: Get image data in JavaScript? (Just noticed that you already have the base64 data, so you are already half the way towards the solution)
