Troubleshooting
If it still does not work
The download opens an older edition
Return to Preview & Download, confirm the latest chapters and cover are visible, then generate a fresh PDF instead of reopening a previously downloaded local file.
The PDF is missing an image
Check that the image loads on the detail page before exporting. A broken or still-processing source image cannot be embedded reliably in the PDF.
