'prite'(think you mean 'print') as in storing the images in the pdf. Or do you want the images been print out (out of the printer) – RvdK Jan 06 '11 at 07:25

This is how I would do this:
- Generate a bitmap from the WinForm control (using Control.DrawToBitmap). You can wrap your images/buttons into the Panel control and generate the bitmap from that panel.
- Use any PDF library to generate PDF document based on the bitmap.
For example, that't how to create PDF document from the bitmap using ABCpdf:
WebSupergoo.ABCpdf7.Doc doc = new WebSupergoo.ABCpdf7.Doc();
doc.SetInfo(0, "License", "[your license code || trial license"]);
doc.Page = doc.AddPage();
doc.AddImageBitmap(myPanel.DrawToBitmap(), false);
doc.PageNumber = 1;
doc.Flatten();
doc.Save("myfile.pdf");

Also possible you could skip the panel.DrawToBitmap() and add the images directly in to the document. (What I was about to write using TallPDF but not distinctly different enough to warrant a new answer) – hometoast Jan 06 '11 at 11:39

@hometoast: Sure, you can do that. The panel could be used if you want to preserve the layout of child control. – volpav Jan 06 '11 at 11:42
