Please can you tell which browser are you using, this should happen only if you disabled javascript or try to change the parameter type of the export. If that's neither your case we will trow one of our programmer to the tiger:)

Alright, I'm dumb. It was my JavaScript blocker. It works once I disabled it.

Nice service. Only advice I can give is to tweak the typography a bit for the PDF output: I'd restrict the measure (line lengths) to around sixty characters, and boost the leading (space between lines) to about 1.5 times the line-height. Personally, I'd make the body text a bit smaller too, but the bigger text might be preferred by some.

Great to hear, we will better communicate on the error to ask for people to enable javascript. For the pdf output, we will look into it as it is a complex issue if you have for example mixed content non latin character with latin character. Thanks for the feedback.

No, you're not dumb, that was a terrible error message.

You should throw one of your programmers to the tiger for that terrible error message that doesn't communicate what the problem is.

We will fix the error message to ask for people to enable javascript. And now because you ask for it we throw one to the tiger, now let's hope we have enough programmers:)
