I want to export a single layer e.g. tPlace as a pdf vector graphic. The vector part is optional, is there any ULP that can help me do that?
If I can export it as png or tiff it would also be fine since I can convert them to pdf afterwards.

Eagle doesn't have a direct "print one layer" feature, however it is very simple to do.
First hide all layers but the one you want to print. The command to this is simply:
display none tPlaceOr any other layer for that matter.
Nonewill hide all layers, and thentPlaceor other layer number/name will show just that layer.Press print, select your settings, and choose "Print to File (PDF)". Your visible layer is now printed. If you want the print output to be solid black rather than its default layer colour, you can select the "Black" option.
To return the displayed layers back to how they were:
display lastThat will reset the visible layers to what they were before you ran the command in step 1.
The resulting PDF file is a Vector graphic as you have requested.
If you prefer not to enter commands, you can achieve the same thing using the "display" button (top left just below the
ibutton). For step 1, click that button, then click None, and then select your layer. For step 3, right click on the display button and select "Last".
