Answer 1

use this before serializing the file into the response stream:

HttpContext.Current.Response.Clear();
        HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader(
            "content-disposition", string.Format("attachment; filename={0}", fileName));
        HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
        //HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentEncoding = Encoding.UTF8;
        HttpContext.Current.Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);

        HttpContext.Current.Response.HeaderEncoding = Encoding.UTF8;

Answer 2

 System.IO.FileStream file = new System.IO.FileStream(Server.MapPath("~/" + fileUploadLoc" System.IO.FileMode.OpenOrCreate);
 PdfWriter pdfWriter = PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfDoc, file);
