Timeout for PDF Document Generation

0
Hi all,   I have implemented the PDF Documentation Generation by following this documentation: PDF Document Generation | Mendix Documentation. I am now running into an issue where the Generation 'times out'. This only happens in our production/acceptance environment and works when running from Mendix Studio Pro. I believe I had read somewhere that certificates might be affecting the generation but I'm not sure. Here are the most recent logs for the issue.    2025-08-28 16:43:47.671 ERROR - DocumentGeneration: Timeout while waiting for document result for request 17fa3d06-6357-4326-bfd6-0ddae968307b2025-08-28 16:43:47.671 ERROR - Connector: An error has occurred while handling the request.

Hi Tyron,

From the attached screenshots, it looks like you're running in an on-premises setup on Windows. If that is indeed the case, I would recommend to set the log level of the `DocumentGeneration` log node to trace. This should output the logs of the local service, and hopefully give a better indication why the service is not able to return any result. 

Hope this helps!
