wkhtmltopdf is a good, open source and free option. After looking around for a solution we ended up exposing wkhtmltopdf as a service because we needed to serve several clients but without maintaining am install for each. We've subsequently made the API publicly available on html2pdfrocket.com and there is no cost if you want to use it.
You can use free libraries such as ITextSharp or for more complex scenarios you can use the server version of TxtControl to generate documents from websites.
TxtControl also offers a OnDemand service for creating documents...

iTextSharp (and iText, too) are free for open source software only. for other uses a commercial license should be purchased.
You may find the Ghostscript library useful http://www.ghostscript.com/
