    Hi @winston,

    I see you have 1 PDF in your account and it is working properly for me.

    Can you please retry and let me know if it is still not working? If this is not working please share the PDF URL.

    Thanks,

    Loic

    Hi @winston,

    This is weird, would you have any errors in the console? If you clear your cache, try in Incognito mode or another browser, do you still get the issue?

    Thanks,

    Hi @winston

    It must have been a stale CDN config, I refreshed it earlier so that's certainly why it is working.
