While debugging, please check the value of sr on the line htmlparser.Parse(sr);.

From the first glance: I don't see where you actually write any data to HTTP response, except the headers...

As an alternative you may use iTextSharp for create PDF.

C#

using iTextSharp.text;
using iTextSharp.text.pdf;

var doc1 = new Document();

//use a variable to let my code fit across the page...
string path = Server.MapPath("PDFs");
PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc1, new FileStream(path + "/Doc1.pdf", FileMode.Create));

doc1.Open();
doc1.Add(new Paragraph("My first PDF"));
doc1.Close();

I hope this will help to you.
