Error: Timeout – Service Is Temporarily Unavailable

Updated over a month ago

This error means PDF.co couldn’t complete the request due to a temporary connection issue.

Why It Happens

  • The connection between your platform (e.g., Zapier, Make, or direct API) and PDF.co was interrupted

  • Our servers may be experiencing a brief delay or heavy load

  • Your workflow timed out before PDF.co could respond

How to Fix It

Zapier

  • Use Zapier’s replay tool to retry the failed task

  • If the error continues, add a short delay step before retrying or insert a path to handle retries

Make.com

Direct API

  • Implement retry logic with exponential backoff (e.g., retry after 5s, 10s, 20s)

Monitor HTTP response codes and only retry for temporary timeouts
