Answer 1

DocRaptor.com has free plans. It's a web app that converts html to pdf.

Answer 2

There is wkhtmltopdf however this is a executable file (there is we support for Php and Drupal), however you can wrap it and used it using .net diagnostics to execute it from command line. All others are not as good or not free.

The idea is that you use Internet Explorer to "print" your HTML; make sure it prints to a PDF printer (e.g. CutePDF, or if you can afford it, Adobe PDF). Never tried it myself, but might work.

Answer 4

Personally I've used xhtmlrenderer compiled with ikvmc to .NET with great success.
