Not sure if this is to late to the game, but this website Simpeli have some nice templates to choose from for generating good looking PDFs.

You make a PDF with a very simple API call.

I would generate and store XML and have XSLT conversions to PDF, HTML, etc... consider this previous post.

A quick google for 'c# xml xslt pdf', gave me this link which may be helpful.

You can use RDLC to define report. It can export it to PDF/Excel. You can export report to pdf and attach it to send email using System.Net.Mail.MailMessage class. You can also print the report using Report Viewer tool.

Alternately you can also use Crystal Reports bundled with visual studio.

If you can spend some money on a report generator tool, have a look at the Xtra Reports from DevExpress: Link. This can export to pdf. Then I would take the generated file and store it (or a reference to it) in the database. For actually sending the mail you could use the MailMessage-Class in System.Net.Mail
