Wikivoyage book creator crashes - rendering fails
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

Hi There

I would love to create some travel guides for my planned trip but I can only get the books to appear in Pedia Press preview and every time I try to create a pdf the rendering gets to about 88% then exhibits a 'Rendering Failed' error message. Very frustrating. What am I doing wrong? I've tried it on my Android tablet and on a PC using two different browsers in each instance. I can add pages but the pdf file will still not complete its production phase, despite seeming to add all the pages.
