Now days many reporting is done on asp.net page and many times we need to convert these pages to PDF file. below is simple solution. Suggested solution can convert following to PDF.

1. Asp.net aspx page to PDF.
2. PHP to PDF. (By hosting this code as separate web application)

        var proc = new Process { StartInfo = startInfo };

        proc.Start();

        string output = proc.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
