Are you starting your HTML with:

<!DOCTYPE html>    
<html>
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8">

Also ensure that the Persian fonts are installed locally.

now you can solve your problem by using itext7.pdfhtml and itext7.pdfcalligraph. install them using NuGet manager, and use this method to convert your Persian or Arabic Html to pdf :

public static void ConvertHtmlToPDF(string Html)
{
        ConverterProperties properties = new ConverterProperties();
        FontProvider fontProvider = new DefaultFontProvider();
        properties.SetFontProvider(fontProvider);

        PdfWriter writer = new PdfWriter(new FileStream(PDFFileAddressTobeGenerated, FileMode.Create));
        PdfDocument pdfDocument = new PdfDocument(writer);

        HtmlConverter.ConvertToPdf(htmlFile, pdfDocument, properties);
}
