Where is the iTextSharp code that creates the PDF?

Hi Richard,
I am using Rotativa library
Here is the code below

string footer = "--footer-right \"Date: [date] [time]\" " + "--footer-center \"Page: [page] of [toPage]\" --footer-line --footer-font-size \"9\" --footer-spacing 5 --footer-font-name \"calibri light\"";
return new ViewAsPdf("ExporttoPDF", viewModel) { CustomSwitches = footer };
After this I am getting the exceptions like master page related or
Exit with code 1 due to network error:
like this.

Could you please help me on this?
