        Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=GridViewExport.pdf");
        Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
        StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
        HtmlTextWriter hw = new HtmlTextWriter(sw);
        GridView1.RenderControl(hw);

        StringReader sr = new StringReader(sw.ToString());
        Document pdfDoc = new Document(PageSize.A4, 10f, 10f, 10f, 0f);

Method 1

You are currently writing the document to the following output stream: Response.OutputStream

Once you do pdfDoc.Close();, the PDF bytes are gone.

If you want to save the PDF to the server, then you need to replace the following line:

PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfDoc, Response.OutputStream);

With this line:

PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfDoc, new FileStream(context.Server.MapPath("~") + "mypdf.pdf");

Now your bytes won’t be sent to the browser, but the PDF will be created on your server.
