Hi,
HTML code is not supported in the Salesforce HTML editor. HTML code is treated as text. 
<apex:outputText value="{!Quotation__c.Note__c}" escape="false"/>

Hi Ramesh,

Thanx for the replay,

One more field is there, its a look up field.

This look up field is displaying link not the text content.

Example:

Look up field name : Customer

In Saleforce form displaying:

Customer : UFOMovies/Intel

But when render/print to pdf displaying:

0018000001H4ylVAAR (some var/link)

APEX code i am using to print on pdf:

{!Quotation__c.Customer__c}
Ramesh KosalairamanRamesh Kosalairaman
{!Quotation__c.Customer__r.Name}
try this It will help

Use relationship to dsiplay the lookup object filed values
