You can use iText, or its .NET port, iTextSharp:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IText[^],
http://itextpdf.com/[^],
http://sourceforge.net/projects/itextsharp/[^],
http://www.javatips.net/blog/2011/09/create-pdf-with-itext-java-tutorial[^].

I referenced Java documentation, because this is where the major documentation on iText is. If you understand C#, you will easily understand this Java documentation and apply it to iTextSharp C# or VB.NET code.

VB

Dim fileName As String = Session("ClientGenCode") & "Leather_Pdf_" + DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString()
            Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
            Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", String.Format("attachment; filename={0}", fileName + ".pdf"))
            Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache)
            Dim html As String = ViewState("htmlText").ToString()
            Dim sb = New System.Text.StringBuilder()
            sb.Append(html)
            Dim objSW = New StringWriter(sb)
            Dim objTW = New HtmlTextWriter(objSW)
            Dim objSR As New StringReader(objSW.ToString())
            Dim objPDF = New Document(PageSize.A4, 10.0F, 10.0F, 10.0F, 10.0F)
            Dim objHW = New HTMLWorker(objPDF)
            PdfWriter.GetInstance(objPDF, Response.OutputStream)
            objPDF.Open()
            objHW.Parse(objSR)
            objPDF.Close()
            Response.Write(objPDF)
            Response.End()
