As already mentioned you can retrieve the HTML representation of your ASPX page and then use any .NET converter of HTML content to PDF content. One of them that I use daily is this Word processing component for .NET, it's quite straightforward, you just use Load and Save method as shown in that above article.
Also I think you'll find this interesting, here is a C# demonstration of exporting PDF file in ASP.NET.
I hope this helps.

Hi,
First of all you need to get HTML content of .aspx page. Then you can use some 3rd party libraries to convert HTML to PDF. For examle you may want to look at Elerium HTML to PDF component. It allows to convert html string/file/url to PDF including styles, but it is not free.

To get HTML content you can place all components on Panel and use this code:

StringWriter objStringWriter = new StringWriter();
HtmlTextWriter objHtmlWriter = new HtmlTextWriter(objStringWriter);
Panel1.RenderControl(objHtmlWriter);
string html_form = objStringWriter.ToString();

After that you can convert result HTML to PDF:

Docs.HtmlToPdf htmlToPdf = new Docs.HtmlToPdf();
htmlToPdf.OpenHTML(html_form);
htmlToPdf.SavePDF(@"outfile.pdf")

You also can easily convert .aspx page from url:

Uri url = new Uri(@"page_adress");
Docs.HtmlToPdf htmlToPdf = new Docs.HtmlToPdf();
htmlToPdf.OpenHTML(url);
htmlToPdf.SavePDF(@"outfile.pdf")

First add the itextsharp.dll file into the application as click solution explorer- Right click on your application file-Add reference-On browse tab search the itextsharp.dll file from your computer-Click ok-Finish.
