Hi, Thanks for the answers ,here I am using Rotativa library for generating the pdf report and when I rendering the view I am getting the master page related exceptions where I should not use master page in that view. Here is my code. return new ViewAsPdf("ExporttoPDF.aspx", viewModel) { FileName = "Report.pdf", CustomSwitches = "--print-media-type --header-center \"text\"" }; With the above code I am not able to show any header and footer and I have to show page numbers in Header and footer.Please help on this.
