The problem arised by using the date time for filename. you can use some unique names other than Datetime because the IIS executes faster in terms of milliseconds and takes repititive name when date time is used. GUID is preferable.

Did you check from the server's task manager for a process running in the background which might be using the file abc.pdf?

I had the same issue when I was reading excel files in my application and the application sometimes ran on background after closing and locked resources.
