This was the first time I had problems with pdf conversion. I walked back through the additions to my page and realized that there was a section of text that had been cut and pasted from email (Thunderbird). It seems that the formatting associated with that text caused the problem.
I retyped the text in question manually within the edit page, erased the text that was pasted in and... success!

Suggest checking the source of text embedded into your wiki. It has worked for me cutting and pasting from a word processor, but not directly from email.

The best answer I've gotten so far has come from a direct email to PB Wiki. They gave me to two overview wiki pages that give several ways to produce PDFs of pages:

"I'm sorry the PDF generator isn't working right. Until we get it fixed, here's a work-around I've been using.

This may help as well:

Since I am running a classroom project, it helps to have the explanation and links all within these links so I can just post them for students.

None of it is ideal, however, so I hope this issue will be fixed as soon as possible.

There is no strange formatting or fonts on my pages, so I don't think that is the problem.

Thank you for responding to my issue, however! :)

See this page for work-arounds if you really need PDFs.

Hi there - sorry that our PDF export is a little buggy at times. We may try to fix some of these PDF problems later this year. Perhaps you can try setting a different font on your wiki (or creating pages that don't use alternate fonts) and you may have better luck.

Hey, Valerie,

Me too. Same problem. Same error message. I don't get it on all my pages, but on most. I get it on my FrontPage, which includes a Google Gadget. I get it on a page that has only simple text in a table.

All for now,

Bill
