There are a lot of ways to convert HTML to PDF, I see that you choose RichEditDocumentServer from DevExpress so I guess that the solutions has to be attached to that! Your code looks good, you need to generate something, even an empty pdf, but ExportToPdf needs a Stream so why do you don't need to put the path? It seems like a basic requierement for .EportToPdf. Anyway, if you are simply trying method and you aren't attached to use a RichEditDocumentServer, check this link, maybe help you: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/564650/convert-html-to-pdf-in-net?rq=1 — frikinside, Jul 16 '14 at 11:58

There are several commercial packages like AbcPdf and maybe Aspose and others.

If you are looking for a free solution, the best option might be WkHtmlToPdf, which is an EXE you call and send the URL or HTML to turn into PDF.

You don't have to write the Process.Start() code yourself though. It's kinda popular tool so there are several examples of how to use it including from C#, like: https://gist.github.com/johnnyreilly/2341776

There's also iTextSharp, but I think its CSS support is not that good.
