You can do that using the buiilt-in chart controls and iTextSharp: http://www.mikesdotnetting.com/Article/115/Microsoft-Chart-Controls-to-PDF-with-iTextSharp-and-ASP.NET-MVC

Hi,



It doesn't matter and usually you don't need to care. We take the output of your Grid or Chart and "display it on a PDF paper" exactly the same way your browser display it on the screen. So if your browser can display it, we will be able to convert it. One
notable exception to this is if your chart uses Flash, then we won't be able to convert it because we do not load third party plugs.

Hi,

As @Mikesdotnetting said, please try to use the iTextSharp to meet your requirement.

In the .aspx:

   
       
           
       
     
                LegendStyle="Row" />
     
     
       
     
     
       
     
   

Populating the Chart:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{
    string[] x = new string[4] { "Mango", "Apple", "Orange", "Banana" };

    int[] y = new int[4] { 200, 112, 55, 96 };

    Chart1.Series[0].Points.DataBindXY(x, y);

    Chart1.Series[0].ChartType = SeriesChartType.Pie;

    Chart1.ChartAreas["ChartArea1"].Area3DStyle.Enable3D = true;

    Chart1.Legends[0].Enabled = true;

}

Exporting the ASP.Net Chart to PDF:

On the click of the Export Button the following event handler is executed which exports the ASP.Net Chart to PDF:

protected void btnExportPDF_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{
    Document pdfDoc = new Document(PageSize.A4, 10f, 10f, 10f, 0f);

    PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfDoc, Response.OutputStream);

    pdfDoc.Open();

    using (MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream())

    {
        Chart1.SaveImage(stream, ChartImageFormat.Png);

        iTextSharp.text.Image chartImage = iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance(stream.GetBuffer());

        chartImage.ScalePercent(75f);

        pdfDoc.Add(chartImage);

        pdfDoc.Close();

        Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";

        Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=Chart.pdf");

        Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);

        Response.Write(pdfDoc);

        Response.End();
    }

}

Best Regards.
