Your code is running on the server so the pdf is opening on the server, but no-one is there to see it and more than likely your threads are hanging or are throwing errors. It appeared to work when developing locally because the client and server were the same machine.

To show a PDF on the client you just return it as a PDF file. Google "asp.net download PDF to client" and you'll find sample code.
