What do you mean by header code ?

Do you mean writing a good header in PDF File ?

iTextSharp allows you to convert your html content directly to PDF, this can be one option which you can try with.

9. var count = columnsHeader.Count;
10. var table = new PdfPTable(count);
11. float[] widths = new float[] { 2f, 5f, 5f, 5f, 3f, 6f, 4f, 3f };

13. table.WidthPercentage = 100;
14. var cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase(heading));
15. cell.Colspan = count;
16. for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
