How to create a report in PDF using visual force?

Presently I am using the following syntax but I am getting a blank pdf page with this. Can anyone please help me

<apex:page standardController="Report" renderAs="pdf">
  <apex:iframe src="/00OK0000000TZ2u"/>  
</apex:page>

Try this: 
<apex:page renderAs="pdf">
  <apex:iframe src="/00OK0000000TZ2u?isdtp=mn"/>  
</apex:page>

Saransh,
Thanks for replying, still it is displaying a blank pdf page!

I just realized that after 14' release you can't call cross browser URL in iframe.
You can check using chrome if you are getting below error:

There is a workaround but with that you can open report in seperate tab and then download it as PDF using chrome standard way. 
<apex:page sidebar="false" showHeader="false">
  <a href="/00OK0000000TZ2u?isdtp=mn" target="_blank">Generate</a>
</apex:page>

Srikanth,

any reason to pass a Id in <apex:iframe>?
you can try using <apex:outputtext value="hello"/> and a pdf page is rendered with hello in it.

Saransh, actually we want to send the pdf report to the customer. Is there any way which we can generate a report in pdf format directly?User-added image
