I need to export the aspx page to PDF in ASP.NET 2005 application.

It's an extremely common requirement...

Is there is any method recommended by Microsoft for it ?

There isn't, nor is there any native support for the PDF format within the
..NET Framework, though it is available through some Microsoft add-ons e.g.
Crystal Reports, ReportViewer etc...

For this reason, there are lots of 3rd-party .NET add-ons which handly PDF -
some are free, some aren't:

I use this one: http://www.siberix.com/

However, whichever one you end up using, make sure it *DOESN'T* involve
installing a pseudo PDF printer driver on your webserver - these solutions
are fine for WinForms apps, but no use at all for WebForms...
