Pandvi the discussion is gone, nevertheless the Prasad_Kulkarni's answer provides a lot of options. Additionally I know of another option which I found to be a life saver, check this C# library for Word documents.

It has a straightforward API which enables creating of PDF file with C# in a LINQ like manner, like this:
var document = new DocumentModel();
document.Sections.Add(
new Section(document,
new Paragraph(document, "Sample")));

But also it provides a direct C# API that converts HTML content into a PDF file and a direct exporting of PDF file to an ASP.NET client, like this:
DocumentModel.Load("index.html").Save(this.Response, "Document.pdf");
