There's a discussion thread around here somewhere that indicates this issue is caused by using an incorrectly formatted Layout. Try using the _PdfLayout.cshtml from the sample web site and see if that makes the error go away.

Did you find the solution for this? I am having same issue.

in case anyone still has this issue, this error happens to me when using any form of HtmlHelper, i had to remove all usages of @Html and @helper.

Also, try to move as much logic as possible into the model or controller if you have some in the view.
