How to save Rotativa PDF on server

Question

I am using Rotativa to generate PDF in my \"MVC\" application. How can I save Rotativa PDF? I need to save the document on a server after all the process is completed.

You can give this a try

var actionResult = new ActionAsPdf("PRVRequestPdf", new { refnum = prv.rheader.request.Referenceno, emid = "Whatever this is" });
var byteArray = actionResult.BuildPdf(ControllerContext);
var fileStream = new FileStream(fullPath, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write);
fileStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
fileStream.Close();

If that doesn't do the trick then, you can follow the answers here

Just make sure if you do it this way not to have PRVRequestPdf return as a PDF View, rather a normal View like you have above (only mention as managed to fall foul of that myself causing lots of fun).
