I am not familiar with the iTextSharp library; however, you seem to be converting the output of your gridview component to a string and reading from that string to construct your PDF document. You also have a strange conversion from UTF-8 to UTF-8 going on.

From what I can see (given that your GridView is outputting characters correctly) if you are outputting the characters to a string they would be represented as UTF-16 in memory. You probably need to pass this string directly into the PDF library (like how you pass the raw UTF-16 .NET string "İııŞŞşşĞĞğğ" as it is).
