As of now I want to print the view in pdf.Please help me on this,I am using aspx view engine for this.

Consider using a professional toolkit like LEADTOOLS which allows you to convert many formats to PDF. So what you can do after filling in the fields with data is to pass the HTML to a DocumentCoverter class that will convert it into PDF.

The code will look something like this:
using (DocumentConverter documentConverter = new DocumentConverter())
{
var inFile = @"inFile.htm";
var outFile = @"outFile.doc";
var format = DocumentFormat.Doc;
var jobData = DocumentConverterJobs.CreateJobData(inFile, outFile, format);
jobData.JobName = "conversion job";
var job = documentConverter.Jobs.CreateJob(jobData);
documentConverter.Jobs.RunJob(job);
}
