Firstly remove the tag itext above your table.
Then create new layout in shared folder.
In that layout just copy and paste below code

<itext creationdate="@DateTime.Now.ToString()" producer="RazorPDF">
    @RenderBody()
</itext>

Then set Layout = "~/Views/Shared/NewlyCreatedLayout.cshtml";

Hope this will help.
