I think you will have to use some third party component in order to generate .pdf. Have a look at this article that describes the stuff you are looking for http://www.dotnetfunda.com/articles/article977-pdf-generator-in-net--dynamically-generate-pdf-in-aspnet-.aspx ,

Thanks

Hello,
You may want to look at Elerium HTML to PDF component . It allows to convert html string/file/url to PDF including styles, but it is not free.
Please look at this example:

Expert PDF also provide facility of converting HTML to PDF into C#. Here is the sample code:

PdfConverter pdfConverter = new PdfConverter();

pdfConverter.PdfDocumentOptions.PdfPageSize = PdfPageSize.A4;
pdfConverter.PdfDocumentOptions.PdfCompressionLevel = PdfCompressionLevel.Normal;
pdfConverter.PdfDocumentOptions.ShowHeader = true;
pdfConverter.PdfDocumentOptions.ShowFooter = true;
pdfConverter.PdfDocumentOptions.LeftMargin = 5;
pdfConverter.PdfDocumentOptions.RightMargin = 5;
pdfConverter.PdfDocumentOptions.TopMargin = 5;
pdfConverter.PdfDocumentOptions.BottomMargin = 5;
pdfConverter.PdfDocumentOptions.GenerateSelectablePdf = true;

pdfConverter.PdfDocumentOptions.ShowHeader = false;
//pdfConverter.PdfHeaderOptions.HeaderText = "Sample header: " + TxtURL.Text;
//pdfConverter.PdfHeaderOptions.HeaderTextColor = Color.Blue;
//pdfConverter.PdfHeaderOptions.HeaderDescriptionText = string.Empty;

hi,
try https://zetpdf.com/ . it is very powerful and convert anything a browser can render to pdf. , ZetPDF is a .net SDK for adding PDF render and print support in .net applications. The toolkit includes its own PDF rendering engine and it does not rely on any other software for rendering and printing PDF files.
thanks,
Alan
