I would say, this is not the best idea. Why not sending HTML instead? Less trouble, more flexible and adequate format, especially if you already have HTML, besides, HTML is directly rendered by all non-nonsense mail programs, PDF is not, and a PDF viewer may not be even installed.

However, if you still need it, you can use iText, or its .NET port, iTextSharp:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IText[^],
http://itextpdf.com/[^],
http://sourceforge.net/projects/itextsharp/[^].

I provided the link to iText as well, as most documentation is for Java, but you can easily understand it.

jsPDF[^] seems to be the plug-in to download pdfs using jQuery.

You can have a try.

Is this opensource/freeware?

It has a GitHub project - jsPDF - Generate PDF files in client-side JavaScript[^]. But I have not used it. I read some blogs and came to know that it is the only plug-in available for creating pdf in jQuery.

/*it is the only plug-in available for creating pdf in jQuery.*/
That's why I asked you. If it's opensource(no restrictions to use on commercial), then it's good.
