Question

How can I save multipage WinForm to PDF & how can I print it?

Answer 1

A good framework is pdfSharp.

You can capture the form (there are few ways of doing it, this is one sample). Than write the image stream a pdf object (you can find many samples for this in the pdfSharp web site).

Answer 2

You can use paint method to capture the entire client area of your Form and then use the Print method to print them.

 Graphics myGraphics = this.CreateGraphics();
 Size s = this.Size;
 memoryImage = new Bitmap(s.Width, s.Height, myGraphics);
 Graphics memoryGraphics = Graphics.FromImage(memoryImage);
 memoryGraphics.CopyFromScreen(this.Location.X, this.Location.Y, 0, 0, s);

then use PrintDocument class to print it.
