iTextSharp - corrupt PDF and document close error - asp.net

Question

This is very close to working. Not sure why I am getting an error at document.Close() or why I am getting a corrupt pdf when I delete document.Close().
It seems to not be posting any info to the pdf.
The code:
Main page with the button the user clicks:
<%# Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="EventList.ascx.cs"
Inherits="Objects_EventList" %>
<asp:ListView runat="server" ID="lstvwEvents"
OnItemDataBound="lstvwEvents_OnItemDataBound">
<LayoutTemplate>
<asp:ImageButton BorderStyle="0" CssClass="submitbutton" runat="server" AlternateText="Get PDF" ID="LinkButton1" OnClick="btnGenerateReport" />
<div class="eventtease" style="width: 249px;border-bottom: 1px solid #c0c06b;padding-right: 10px;padding-top: 10px;height: 300px;overflow: auto;">
<asp:Literal runat="server" ID="itemPlaceholder" />
<div style="clear: both;"></div>
</div>
</LayoutTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<h3 style="clear: both;border-top: 1px solid #c0c06b;padding-top: 10px;"><asp:Literal runat="server" ID="ltrlShortDate" /><br /><%# Eval("EventName").ToString().ToUpper() %><br />(<asp:Literal runat="server" ID="ltrlTimes" />)</h3>
<p class="eventdescription" style="font: normal normal normal 7.5pt/normal Arial, Sans-Serif;margin-top: 3px;">
<%# Eval("Description") %>
</p>
<asp:HyperLink runat="server" ID="lnkLearnMore" Text="LEARN MORE" CssClass="learnmore" Visible="false" />
</ItemTemplate>
