Here is a demo given below
First add the itextsharp.dll file into the application

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

You can convert webpage to Pdf by using Spire.PDF for .NET
http://pdfapi.codeplex.com/

C#
using Spire.Pdf;

namespace WPFhtmltopdf
{
///
/// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml
///
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
[STAThread]
private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{

//Create a new pdf document.
PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
//load the webpage
String url = "http://msdn.microsoft.com/";
doc.LoadFromHTML(url, false, true, true);
//Save html webpage as pdf file.
doc.SaveToFile("sample.pdf");
doc.Close();
}
}
}
{[VB.NET]}
Imports Spire.Pdf

Namespace WPFhtmltopdf
'''
''' Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml
'''
Public Partial Class MainWindow
Inherits Window
Public Sub New()
InitializeComponent()
End Sub
_
Private Sub button1_Click(sender As Object, e As RoutedEventArgs)

'Create a new pdf document.
Dim doc As New PdfDocument()
'load the webpage
Dim url As = "http://msdn.microsoft.com/"
doc.LoadFromHTML(url, False, True, True)
'Save html webpage as pdf file.
doc.SaveToFile("sample.pdf")
doc.Close()
End Sub
End Class
End Namespace

Hope it helps.

Thanks for your nice info. I have only tried another PDF converter( http://www.yiigo.com/guides/csharp/how-to-pdf-convert.shtml ) before. I am not sure whether it allows users to convert web page(.aspx page) to pdf. I will try it later.
