my method: protected void btnSave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"; Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=print.pdf"); Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache); StringWriter sw = new StringWriter(); HtmlTextWriter hw = new HtmlTextWriter(sw); pdfPannel.RenderControl(hw); StringReader sr = new StringReader(sw.ToString()); Document pdfDoc = new Document(PageSize.A4, 10f, 10f, 100f, 0f); HTMLWorker htmlparser = new HTMLWorker(pdfDoc); PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfDoc, Response.OutputStream); pdfDoc.Open(); htmlparser.Parse(sr); pdfDoc.Close(); Response.Write(pdfDoc); Response.End(); } when i click that save button im getting error Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DevServer\Images\image1.png'.
