MVC - Generate PDF From Details View

Question

Hello, I have a simple application with a list of items in a grid, so when you click on item's name, a popup div shows you item's details.
It works fine, however, I would like to have a button inside this details view to generate PDF on the fly.
I have got ExpertPdf.HtmlToPdf library to do that.
Here is my method's code:
public HomeController()
public ActionResult Index()
var article = from a in db.Article.Include(a => a.Kind) orderby a.CreatedDate descending select a;
return View(article.ToList());
public ActionResult Details(int id = 0)
Article article = db.Article.Find(id);
if (article == null)
return HttpNotFound();
return View(article);
public FileStreamResult ContentToPDF()
byte[] pdfBytes = new PdfConverter().GetPdfFromUrlBytes(Request.Url.AbsoluteUri);
Stream stream = new MemoryStream(pdfBytes);
return new FileStreamResult(stream, "application/pdf");
@Html.ActionLink("To PDF", "ContentToPDF")
Actually, PDF is generated from the given URL. But my problem is, when you click on ToPDF button, it calls the controller and my details view's URL changes to become: home/contenttopdf/1
instead of home/details/1, as the newly generated URL returns page not found, PDF converter returns TimeOut exception.
Can someone please tell me how to properly handle this ToPDF action method, how to call it properly?
Thanks at advance.
