Answer 1

I think you should use 'itextSharp'. You can go through this link
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/81118/ITextSharp-Helper-Class
You can download it (.dll) from here
http://sourceforge.net/projects/itextsharp/

Answer 2

You could load the page in a browser and print it to a PDF using a free tool like CutePDF.

This tool adds a printer that enables you to save the document/web page as a PDF.

As asp.net web page get render in HTMl so you can user ITextSharp to convert HTML page into PDF

here is code to Convert HTML to PDF

protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)
    {
        MemoryStream mem = new MemoryStream();
        StreamWriter twr = new StreamWriter(mem);
        HtmlTextWriter myWriter = new HtmlTextWriter(twr);
        base.Render(myWriter);
        myWriter.Flush();
        myWriter.Dispose();
        StreamReader strmRdr = new StreamReader(mem);
        strmRdr.BaseStream.Position = 0;
        string pageContent = strmRdr.ReadToEnd();
        strmRdr.Dispose();
        mem.Dispose();
        writer.Write(pageContent);
        CreatePDFDocument(pageContent);
    }
    public  void CreatePDFDocument(string strHtml)
    {

        string strFileName = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("test.pdf");
        // step 1: creation of a document-object
        Document document = new Document();
        // step 2:
        // we create a writer that listens to the document
        PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, new FileStream(strFileName, FileMode.Create));
        StringReader se = new StringReader(strHtml);
        HTMLWorker obj = new HTMLWorker(document);
        document.Open();
        obj.Parse(se);
        document.Close();
        ShowPdf(strFileName);

    }
    public void ShowPdf(string strFileName)
    {
        Response.ClearContent();
        Response.ClearHeaders();
        Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline;filename=" + strFileName);
        Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
        Response.WriteFile(strFileName);
        Response.Flush();
        Response.Clear();
    }
