Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
rbtlstRqstType.Visible = false;
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
HtmlTextWriter hw = new HtmlTextWriter(sw);
//this.Page.RenderControl(hw);
pnlIDForm.RenderControl(hw);
StringReader sr = new StringReader(sw.ToString());
Document pdfDoc = new Document(PageSize.A4, 10f, 10f, 100f, 0f);
HTMLWorker htmlparser = new HTMLWorker(pdfDoc);
PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfDoc, Response.OutputStream);
pdfDoc.Open();
htmlparser.Parse(sr);
pdfDoc.Close();
Response.Write(pdfDoc);
Response.End();

Create a PDF template, containing a form.
Add the form fields, and then populate the form fields using C# and iTextSharp, something like:
acroFields.SetField("CustomerName", customer.Name);
acroFields.SetField("BranchName", customer.Branch);

You can use Rotativa which is design to generate PDF in MVC application.
You can get all documents regarding methods and demo from https://github.com/webgio/Rotativa

How to preserve CSS using iTextSharp?

i have a header at the top of my front page like this:
i use iTextSharp code to generate its PDF ... but the resulting PDF do not contain this Header with black : instead some CSS is written in place of header like this:
How can i possibly fix this issue??
Code:
protected void BtnPDF_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=TestPage.pdf");
Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
HtmlTextWriter hw = new HtmlTextWriter(sw);
this.Page.RenderControl(hw);
StringReader sr = new StringReader(sw.ToString());
Document pdfDoc = new Document(PageSize.A4, 10f, 10f, 100f, 0f);
HTMLWorker htmlparser = new HTMLWorker(pdfDoc);
PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfDoc, Response.OutputStream);
pdfDoc.Open();
htmlparser.Parse(sr);
pdfDoc.Close();
Response.Write(pdfDoc);
Response.End();
}

Have you tried to use inline css? Because HTML/CSS parser in iTextSharp is not complete. So it may not work as you want.
Also check out the LoadTagStyle property of StyleSheet in iTextSharp, see if it helps.

We would like to convert that html file into pdf after changing the font size.
using iTextSharp.text;

using iTextSharp.text.pdf;
protected void ConvertToPDFNow()
{
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
HtmlTextWriter w = new HtmlTextWriter(sw);
print.RenderControl(w);
string htmWrite = sw.GetStringBuilder().ToString();
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=FileName.pdf");
Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
htmWrite = Regex.Replace(htmWrite, "</?(a|A).*?>", "");
htmWrite = htmWrite.Replace("\r\n", "");
StringReader reader = new StringReader(htmWrite);
Document doc = new Document(PageSize.A4);
//Creating Document of A4 Size
HTMLWorker parser = new HTMLWorker(doc);
PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, Response.OutputStream);
doc.Open();
try

//rendering Html File
parser.Parse(reader);

try to apply stylesheet:
...
var style = new StyleSheet();
style.LoadTagStyle("body", "size", "12px");
parser.SetStyleSheet(style);
...

The C# code below works fantastically to change itextpdf font size:
var style = new StyleSheet();
style.LoadTagStyle("body", "size", "8px");
HTMLWorker htmlworker = new HTMLWorker(document);
htmlworker.SetStyleSheet(style);

Can you Help me out ??

I am not sure if it possible to add an extranal css to the pdf with itextsharp, but you can always create a css with a functions frovided by itextsharp using something like this, rewriting the style in the itextsharp css class.
StyleSheet styles = new StyleSheet();
styles.LoadTagStyle("p", "size", "10pt");
styles.LoadTagStyle("p", "color", "#0000ff");
