Programmatically print to PDF using "Microsoft Print to PDF" in c# windows 10

I am trying to print to pdf using "Microsoft Print to PDF" in c#. I worked really hard on it and wrote below code.

It is creating an empty pdf file instead of filling it with the content of I sent to the printer.

Could anyone help me?

try
{
    PrintDocument pd = new PrintDocument();
    ProcessStartInfo info = new ProcessStartInfo("E:\\ba\\Asp.pdf");
    info.Verb = "Print";
    pd.PrinterSettings.PrintToFile = true;
    pd.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = "Microsoft Print to PDF";
    pd.PrinterSettings.PrintToFile = true;
    pd.PrinterSettings.PrintFileName = Path.Combine("e://", "hktespri" + ".pdf");
    pd.Print();
    info.CreateNoWindow = true;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);

}
