Answer 1

Here is set of methods which will be usefull for you.

public static RenderTargetBitmap ConvertToBitmap(UIElement uiElement, double resolution)
            {
                var scale = resolution / 96d;
                uiElement.Measure(new Size(Double.PositiveInfinity, Double.PositiveInfinity));
                var sz = uiElement.DesiredSize;
                var rect = new Rect(sz);
                uiElement.Arrange(rect);
                var bmp = new RenderTargetBitmap((int)(scale * (rect.Width)), (int)(scale * (rect.Height)), scale * 96, scale * 96, PixelFormats.Default);
                bmp.Render(uiElement);
                return bmp;
            }

    public static string CreatePDF(RenderTargetBitmap bitmap)
            {
                var jpegString = GridImageConverter.CreateJpeg(bitmap);
                var stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
                stringBuilder.AppendFormat(
                    @"%PDF-1.4

    ", bitmap.PixelWidth, bitmap.PixelHeight, jpegString.Length, jpegString);
                int xrefOffset = stringBuilder.Length;
                stringBuilder.AppendFormat(

                return stringBuilder.ToString();
            }

            public static void SaveToPDF(UIElement uiElement, string filePath, double resolution)
            {
                SaveToPDF(ConvertToBitmap(uiElement, resolution), filePath);
            }
