My problem is in c# fontfamily there is no such Google font.How can I get "Open Sans,sans-serif" in c# fontfamily?

TextElement footerText = new TextElement(0, 15, "Page &p; of &P;  ",
                new System.Drawing.Font(this.OpenSans,12, FontStyle.Regular, GraphicsUnit.Pixel));
footerText.TextAlign = HorizontalTextAlign.Right;
footerText.ForeColor = Color.Black;

            "This is page &p; of &P;  ",

James specifically wanted a Google font, not the standard Times New Roman. – Hans Keﬆing Feb 11 '15 at 11:06

You can actually use fonts which are not installed on the local system. You just need the .ttf or .otf file and load the fonts from file like this:

// Embed a True Type font from a local file in PDF document
PdfFont localTrueTypeFont = pdfDocument.AddFont(@"DemoAppFiles\Input\Fonts\TrueType.ttf");

// Add a text element using the local True Type font to PDF document
TextElement localFontTtfTextElement = new TextElement(xLocation, yLocation, "This text uses a True Type Font loaded from a local file", localTrueTypeFont);
addTextResult = pdfPage.AddElement(localFontTtfTextElement);

You can also see the entire demo with more code samples for text and fonts handling. You have to select the 'Sample Code' tab in that page.
