Interestingly, the webpage itself cannot be turned into a document. >We couldn't find any text for creating the document. Please send us the problematic link : https://documentcyborg.com/ via our contactus form. This was the first page I thought to try it on, so you might want to consider adding more text to your landing page so that it will work.
I did the same thing, this is definitely worth looking into.

#23That hostname is very difficult to read. I kept squinting and though it was "Documentcy Borg". If you're going to put together something like you need a shorter, catchier name. Here's a freebie name that's (as of writing this) unregistered: page2doc.com

Please can you tell which browser are you using, this should happen only if you disabled javascript or try to change the parameter type of the export. If that's neither your case we will trow one of our programmer to the tiger:)
Nice service. Only advice I can give is to tweak the typography a bit for the PDF output: I'd restrict the measure (line lengths) to around sixty characters, and boost the leading (space between lines) to about 1.5 times the line-height. Personally, I'd make the body text a bit smaller too, but the bigger text might be preferred by some.

You should throw one of your programmers to the tiger for that terrible error message that doesn't communicate what the problem is.
