First of all,it does not make sense to print or make pdf from page.e.g. if you have products and specification on page,then display it in gridview and export that to pdf.

how can i display in gridview that is static content on page not from database..

You'd try iTextSharp.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/itextsharp/[^]

Quote:
iTextSharp is a C# port of iText, and open source Java library for PDF generation and manipulation. It can be used to create PDF documents from scratch, to convert XML to PDF (using the extra XFA Worker DLL), to fill out interactive PDF forms, to stamp new content on existing PDF documents, to split and merge existing PDF documents, and much more.

Here's the documentation: http://www.afterlogic.com/mailbee-net/docs-itextsharp/[^]

i already used itextsharp but it is not enough for me.

iTextSharp is a very powerful library; what should you have to do?

Alessandro_Avila 27-Jun-13 5:49am

I've read your previous comment: for the part where you print products detail and specification on a pdf document you could easily employ this library.

Hey its no needs to go for all these :

try:

XML

Response.Write(htmlcode_as_string);
Response.Write("<script language='javascript'>window.print();</script>");
