You will need to send the form in html format. Depending on how complex the page is, it can be a nightmare.
Have you considered sending a link with all of the parameters to the page?

Are you wanting to just send the information from the database and the form as an email?
Or are you wanting to send them an email with the form inside it? (If so, use an html email and an iFrame)

do a HttpWebRequest, and get the HttpWebResponse. Then put it into a StringBuilder and write it to the body of your email
//Sample psuedo code
HttpWebRequest wr = new HttpWebRequest( "FormURL" );
HttpWebResponse wres = wr.GetResponse();
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append( wres.ToString() );

Sending it as a pdf, hmm... are you going to use ghostpdf, or some pdf driver to convert the html to a pdf?

Hi,
To save your page as pdf file and send mail with it, you can follow the below steps.
1. Use Third-Party control to create a pdf file with datas from page. And save it on server.
There are lots of Third-Party Control to achieve it. One of them is ABCPDF.NET which is convenient to use.
You can try it to operate and read/create your PDF file. There is a link to download: http://www.websupergoo.com/download.htm
There is a great demo available in the above link and you can learn how to use it.

2. Send mail with this pdf file.
Please check this post: http://forums.asp.net/t/1212059/2144140.aspx
Hope this can help.
