You can use PdfDocument to create a pdf file.

Thanks for your quick answer, but with the pdfdocument is more hard to make the pdf, is with canvas or I'm losing something.

Yes, you need to draw it with canvas. You can use WebView.CaptureBitmap to convert the html to a bitmap and then draw it with Canvas.DrawBitmap.
