Mail pdf Attachment using Rotativa - asp.net-mvc

Question

Sending the email and the attachment actaly works. my issue is i get this error when trying to send the "generated pdf"
An exception of type 'System.Exception' occurred in Rotativa.dll but was not handled in user code
Additional information: Error: Failed loading page http://localhost:49224/Offer/OfferPdf/4 (sometimes it will work just to ignore this error with --load-error-handling ignore)
The mail test in the controller:
public ActionResult MailTest()
{
MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();
msg.To.Add(new MailAddress(CoEmail));
msg.From = new MailAddress(MailFrom, UserName);
msg.Subject = "Offer";
msg.Body = "This is a Test";
MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(OffersPdfMail (4, "Offer"));
Attachment att1 = new Attachment(stream, "Offer.pdf", "application/pdf");
msg.Attachments.Add(att1);
msg.IsBodyHtml = true;
msg.BodyEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
msg.SubjectEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.Default;
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
client.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
client.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(User, Pass);
client.Port = 587; //
client.Host = "smtp.office365.com";
client.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
client.EnableSsl = true;
try
{
client.Send(msg);
return RedirectToAction("index");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
return HttpNotFound();
}
}
The Byte[]:
public Byte[] OfferPdfMail(int? id, string filename)
{
var mailpdft = new ActionAsPdf("OfferPdf/4")
{
FileName = "Offer",
PageSize = Rotativa.Options.Size.A4,
PageWidth = 210,
PageHeight = 297
};
Byte[] PdfData = mailpdft.BuildPdf(ControllerContext);
return PdfData;
and last the ViewasPdf:
public ActionResult OfferPdf (int? id, string filename)
{
string footer = "test" ;
if (id == null)
{
return new HttpStatusCodeResult(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest);
}
var pdf = new ViewAsPdf("TilbudsPdf") {
FileName = filename,
PageSize = Rotativa.Options.Size.A4,
PageOrientation = Rotativa.Options.Orientation.Portrait,
PageMargins = new Rotativa.Options.Margins(12, 12, 12, 12),// it’s in millimeters
PageWidth = 210,
PageHeight = 297,
CustomSwitches = footer };
return pdf;
}
Editted the names to english. may have missed some.
Thanks for your patience, and sorry for the bad english.
Best regards Eric

I found an solution, it was because i was stupid trying to making an pdf of a pdf. so i made a new ActionResult method like this:
public ActionResult tilbudspdfMailView(int? id, string filename)
{
Offer Offer= db.Offer.Find(id);
return View("OfferPdf", Offer);
}
