Troubleshooting: PDF Download Issues

troubleshooting pdf download output

If your PDF doesn’t download, downloads as blank, or won’t open, use this checklist.

1) Try downloading again

Small network hiccups happen. Try one more time.

2) Check browser download settings

  • Make sure downloads are allowed
  • Check if Chrome is prompting for a download location
  • Look at the Downloads bar / Downloads page

3) Disable popup/download blockers

Some extensions can block downloads or new tabs.

Temporarily disable blockers and try again.

4) Try another browser profile or incognito

This helps isolate whether another extension is interfering.

5) Re-download from your history

If the document was generated successfully, you can often re-download it from the History area in HyperApply.

See: /docs/how-to-manage-generated-versions

6) If the PDF opens but looks wrong

That’s typically a formatting issue:

  • try another template
  • shorten long bullets

See: /docs/troubleshooting-formatting-issues

7) Still stuck?
