You can't "convert" a DataTable to a PDF Document. But you can insert data into it as normal content.

This would have to be done through a data control, like the GridView or ListView; just like in a normal webpage. Which is why the article you have linked to does that. GridView is probably the closest and easiest way to make it aesthetically appear the same as a DataTable. As it will just be stored as a normal table in the PDF Document.

Note that the GridView is created in memory - you don't create or need to have one in your HTML page. Try and experiment with the code to understand this better.

So I recommend following the article.
