Combine content from selected aspx pages and Consolidate to pdf

Question

Hi All,
I have a new requirement in one of the SharePoint portals :
Contents are placed on ASPX pages using a content editor
A feature to select pages and combine all the content from content editor of these pages into a pdf document
Is there a way to access only
 the content stored in content editor and consolidate them in to one data source and then convert that in to a pdf file ?
Thanks in Advance

Hi Pallavi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to convert the content in content editor webpart to PDF file.
I suggest you can use read content from content editor web part to a string variable using ContentEditorWebPart class.
Here is a code demo about reading content using ContentEditorWebPart class:

ContentEditorWebPart.Content property:

Then you can generate PDF file with string variable. To create PDF file, you need to download PDFsharp library and reference the dll in your project.
Here is a code demo about creating pdf file using C#:
