Hi
You need to use pdf sdk for doing this, ByteScout PDF SDK is best for such purpose. I have tried it myself, it is simple and easy to use. Please have a look on following code for the said task.
// Create new document
           Document pdfDocument = new Document();
           pdfDocument.RegistrationName = "demo";
           pdfDocument.RegistrationKey = "demo";
           // Add page
           Page page = new Page(PaperFormat.A4);
           pdfDocument.Pages.Add(page);

           // Add sample content
           Font font = new Font(StandardFonts.Times, 24);
           Brush brush = new SolidBrush();
           page.Canvas.DrawString("Hello world!", font, brush, 20, 20);

           // Save document to file
           pdfDocument.Save("result.pdf");

           // Cleanup
           pdfDocument.Dispose();

           // Open result document in default associated application (for demo purpose)
           ProcessStartInfo processStartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("result.pdf");
           processStartInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
           Process.Start(processStartInfo);
