If you're getting Error 448 when trying to convert a webpage to PDF, this means PDF.co couldn't access the link you provided. Here’s why it happens and how to fix it.
What Causes This Error?
Error 448 usually means that the URL you're trying to convert:
Doesn’t exist or leads to a broken page
Requires login (PDF.co can't access private or restricted pages)
Is blocked by a firewall or IP restriction
Has too many redirects or fails to load completely
Was entered incorrectly or is missing the http:// or https:// prefix
How to Fix It
Here’s what you can do to resolve the issue:
Check the URL: Make sure the link is typed correctly and starts with http:// or https://.
Open the Link in Your Browser: If it doesn’t load in your browser, it won’t work for PDF.co either.
Use Publicly Accessible Pages: PDF.co can’t convert pages that require a login or are restricted by location/firewall.
Avoid Pages That Redirect Too Much:
If the URL forwards to other pages, try using the final link directly.Test with a Known Good Page: Try converting https://pdf.co to confirm your workflow is working.
