Hi,
For this you need to create VF page same as standard page and you need to use renderedAs= "PDF" , and onclick on the button you can cal that VF page.

please letme know, if this will help.

Hi Vadivel,

You can use such like code for save standard detail page render as PDF
<apex:page standardController="Account" renderAs="PDF">
  <apex:detail/>
</apex:page>
From the button on detial page redirect to this page will save the detail page as pdf.

If you think this will help you please select this as best answer.

Thanks
Jitendra

Yes you can do with hitting a save button. Things you would have to do is,

1. Create an Apex Page.
2. Create an Apex controller (which will read the Salesforce Force standardPage) which is referenced from Apex Page. Here is some sample code
  
<apex:page Controller="RenderKT" renderAs="pdf"   applyHtmlTag="true"  applyBodyTag="true" sideBar="false">

<apex:outputtext value="{!KnowledgeURL}" escape="false"/>
</apex:page>
  
public class RenderKT
    {
    public String getKnowledgeURL()
        {
        String KAId = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('KAId');
        String KAVerNum = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('KAVerNum');
        String URL = '/knowledge/articlePrintableView.apexp?id='+KAId+'&kavVersion='+KAVerNum;
        return (new PageReference(URL).getContent().toString());
        }
    }

NOTE: our objective was to download the knowledge article as PDF. Hope this helps.

A small correction - mean to say without hitting the button. All you need to do is - invoke the custom Apex Page created, by passing the page URL you wanted to invoke as URL parameter to this custom apex page.
