<apex:page renderAs="pdf">
Create one more visualforce page with same controller code and visualforce page code and the only change is use renderas attribute in the visualforce page code. Then call this visualforce page from the 'Export to PDF' custom button action and pass the necessary parameters to the visualforce page to render the data as PDF page.
Check this visual force developer guide for more details - https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.pages.meta/pages/pages_quick_start_renderas_pdf.htm

Here are the steps to generate a PDF from a Visualforce page and assign it to an action button:
- Create a Visualforce page and controller that contain the content you want to include in the PDF.
- Add the "renderAs" attribute to the apex:page tag, setting it to "pdf", to ensure that the page is rendered as a PDF:
- Create a button or link that, upon clicking, will render a Visualforce page as a PDF by assigning the Visualforce page to it.
