Yes, it is possible to draw sting on PDF. You could use Spire.PDF by calling the method PdfPageBase.Canvas.DrawString() to achieve this task easily, check below tutorials:

Since you have text and you want to save PDF, you could use any good PDF library like LEADTools or iTextSharp.

Since you already have the code to get the string, just get the code to convert it to PDF file. Have a look at the following MSDN social thread for the solution. They have a great resource already solved.

There are many APIs and libraries already present that you can use to get yourself started, but have a look at the following thread: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/ba37d3d0-5ef8-4ae7-b1af-bf2da0677156/to-write-data-on-a-pdf-file-using-cnet?forum=csharpgeneral

The solution is again, to use an API or library, to save it. Otherwise you will have to worry about the file structure and all other nonsense of file system too.
