VfPage - Page1
<apex:page renderAs="pdf" >
    <apex:form>
        <apex:pageBlock>
            set output that you wan't in pdf
        </apex:pageBlock>
    </apex:form>     
</apex:page>

VfPage - page2
<apex:page >
    <apex:form>
        <apex:pageBlock>
            <apex:commandButton action="/apex/page1" />
        </apex:pageBlock>
    </apex:form>     
</apex:page>

Please use renderAs attribute like this - 
<apex:page renderAs="pdf">
Currently PDF is the only supported content converter. Setting this attribute to "pdf" renders the page as a PDF.
If the PDF fails to display all the characters, adjust the fonts in your CSS to use a font that supports your needs.
For example, add the following style definition to your page's styles: 
body { font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS'; }
This is my first answer here.So please correct me if am wrong somewhere :)

Thanks and Regards,
Samir Khan

Did you get any response to this query Flavia?

Hi Shekhar Hanchate,
No i havent.
Could you assist. Is there a possiblilty that this could be achieved from a custom controller and doesnt require an object creation? Because where ever i see online i see the code mentions 'id'.

I looked into the below link:
