What to do when your PDF conversion fails: Steps to take and when to contact our support team

Understanding the PDF Conversion Process

At BrewPDF, we strive to provide a seamless PDF conversion experience. However, in rare cases, a conversion may fail due to various factors like file compatibility issues or temporary system glitches. If this happens, there's no need to panic.

Automatic Retries

When a PDF conversion fails, our system automatically initiates retries to ensure a successful conversion. In most cases, this automatic retry resolves any temporary issues and completes the conversion successfully.

Troubleshooting Steps for Persistent Issues

If you encounter persistent issues where the conversion repeatedly fails, follow these steps to resolve the problem and ensure a smooth conversion:

  1. 1. Verify File Format: Ensure that the file you are trying to convert is in a supported format. Our system supports popular file formats such as Word documents (DOC/DOCX), PowerPoint presentations (PPT/PPTX), and images (JPEG/PNG).
  2. 2. Check File Size: Large files may sometimes cause conversion failures. If your file is too large, try compressing it or splitting it into smaller parts before attempting the conversion again.
  3. 3. Check Internet Connection: A stable internet connection is vital for successful file conversions. Check your internet connection and make sure it is stable and reliable.
  4. 4. Clear Browser Cache: Clearing your browser cache can resolve any temporary issues that may hinder the conversion process. Try clearing your cache and attempting the conversion again.
  5. 5. Disable Browser Extensions: Sometimes, browser extensions or add-ons can interfere with the conversion process. Disable any unnecessary extensions and try again.
  6. 6. Try Different Browser: If the conversion still fails, try using a different browser. This helps rule out any browser-specific issues.
