   Layout = null;
    }

<itext creationdate="@DateTime.Now.ToString()" producer="RazorPDF">

  1. Firstly remove the tag itext above your table.
  2. Then create new layout in shared folder.
  3. In that layout just copy and paste below code
<itext creationdate="@DateTime.Now.ToString()" producer="RazorPDF">
    @RenderBody()
</itext>

  1. Then set Layout = "~/Views/Shared/NewlyCreatedLayout.cshtml";

    Hope this will help.
