First you should add the reference to iTextSharp.dll
Then the following method will create a PDF document and the document contains a table with the supplied data.
using
iTextSharp;
using
iTextSharp.text;
using
iTextSharp.text.pdf;
private void create_pdf(DataTable
dt, string fname)
{
fname = GenarateFilename(fname, ".pdf");
fullfilename = fname;
Document
pdfdoc = new Document(iTextSharp.text.PageSize.A3, 10.0F, 10.0F, 10.0F, 10.0F);
PdfWriter
pw = PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfdoc, new FileStream(fname,
FileMode.Create));
pdfdoc.Open();
iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfPTable table = new
PdfPTable(dt.Columns.Count);
table.TotalWidth = PageSize.A3.Width;

9, 1, CLR);
foreach
(DataColumn dc in
dt.Columns)
{

cell = new PdfPCell();

}
