Here's an article that shows how to export a GridView to PDF using iTextSharp: http://highoncoding.com/Articles/483_Exporting_GridView_to_PDF_Document.aspx

You just need to replace the GridView with your HtmlTable control. However, as the article says, you don't have much control over the formatting. My advice is to create your table in iTextSharp directly and write the rows of data to it. I have an example in one of my iTextsharp articles here: http://www.mikesdotnetting.com/article/86/itextsharp-introducing-tables

Sorry i can't find it.

Ctrl+F then search for "nested"

We have seen on a number of occasions how a cell can stretch horizontally through the use of the Colspan property. But what about vertically? In HTML you would use the Rowspan property, but there is no equivalent in iTextSharp. So the answer is nested tables.
