You can able to export any page as PDF using renderas attribute in visualforce page tag 
<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 visualforce developer guide for more details - https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.pages.meta/pages/pages_quick_start_renderas_pdf.htm
