They are adjacent to each other and only 10 minutes' walk is needed. Or you can travel by metro; it's only one stop away from each other.

Shanghai Pudong Airport to Yiwu by High Speed Train
Hi, I will be reaching Pudong International Airport flying in from San Francisco at 5:35pm on Sat Nov 2. And my final destination is Yiwu Trade City. I want to experience Meglev, so planning to take meglev for 8 mins to HongQiao train station and take high speed train to Yiwu and taxi to hotel after that.
As the last train to Yiwu from HongQiao is 8:45pm, i have the following questions:
1. Will it be enough time for me to get on the last high speed train to Yiwu from Pudong Airport if assuming I reach airport on time
5:35pm and clear custom in 1 hour say 6:35pm I am ready to take the Meglev?
2. Do I need to book the Meglev/Train ticket in advanced? If I do, what if my flight delay, can I change date/time?
3. If the above plan not advisable, what is the best options?
Thanks

You can't take maglev from Pudong airport to Hongqiao railway station. You can take metro line 2 with 1.5 hours and CNY9. And I think you can catch your train if you rush your time. You don't need to book maglev ticket in advance. You can book train ticket in advance and you can change time if your flight delay.
