Are you trying to export HTML to PDF?

This is called "fillable PDF". In principle, iText or its .NET port iTextSharp allows you to do some of such things. Please see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IText[^],
http://itextpdf.com/[^],
http://sourceforge.net/projects/itextsharp/[^].

Apparently, the problem is solved with Adobe software, but free…
