    There are many PDF components available that you can use to create a PDF on the fly that can be done in memory, then transmitted to the browser.

    Most are commercial since the PDF specifications are pretty large and complicated. There is one called iTextSharp http://sourceforge.net/projects/itextsharp/ that is "open source" and fairly common. Be aware though, the 5.x version of iTextSharp has some really sneaky statements in it's license agreement that have made me guarantee never to use it again. Version 4.x though, if you can find it still, is far more permissive and lacks the fairly ridiculous requirements of the 5.x license.
