Render part of VF page as pdf

Is it possible to render part of a VF page as pdf.

I don't want the entire page to be rendered as pdf because the user should have an option to select a date on the VF page. On selecting the date, the bottom part must be rendered as pdf.

 

How can i achieve this?

 

Thanks in Advance,

Rohit R

Mostly it is handled with use of two pages, In first page we select the filter criteria having a button. Onclick of button display the PDF with the result of filter criteria.

We had a similar requirement in which we need to use same  Vf page as PDF and normal page.

We added a parameter in the URL to distinguish if the page was rendered as PDF and then controlled/dynamically rendered components in the page as per the parameter

 

<apex:page renderAs="{!IF($CurrentPage.parameters.isPDF == null, null, 'pdf')}">

 <! other content --!>

<apex:commandLink action="{!URLFOR($Action.student__c.view,student.id)}" value="Back To Student" rendered="{!IF($CurrentPage.parameters.isPDF== null ,true,false) }"/>

 

</apex:page>
