I have used PDFDuo-NET.dll (version 2.3) in my project which is very useful. First, you need to convert content of your ASPX to HTML and then converted that HTML content into a PDF file or another way which I use is to create a simple HTML string and then convert it.See below C# code:

C#

using System;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.IO;
using DuoDimension;


public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page 
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        string html = "<table width="240">" +
            "<tr style="background-color:#00AAFF"><td width="50%">Product</td><td width="25%">Quantity</td><td>Cost</td></tr>" +
            "<tr><td>Product Name 1</td><td>5</td><td>$100</td></tr>" +
            "<tr><td>Product Name 2</td><td>15</td><td>$300</td></tr>" +
            "<tr><td>Product Name 3</td><td>55</td><td>$500</td></tr>" +
            "</table>";
        string pdf = "pdf_file.pdf";
        DuoDimension.HtmlToPdf conv = new DuoDimension.HtmlToPdf();
        conv.PageInfo.PageFormat = ePageFormat.A4;
        conv.PdfDocumentInfo.Title = "Generate PDF from HTML source";
        conv.Header = "<br>HTML table Example";
        try
        {
            conv.OpenHTML(html);
            conv.SavePDF(MapPath("~/Reports/") + pdf);
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            throw ex;
        }
    }
}</br>
