If that still doesn't work, the file is only 59 KB - I can also convert it to a base64-encoded version or increase its size/content. A few things to try on your end:
- Right-click the link → Save link as (instead of left-clicking)
- Try a different browser (Chrome/Firefox work best for sandbox file downloads)
- If you're on mobile, switch to desktop browser
If none of those work, let me know and I can:
- Re-generate with a larger, richer PDF (sometimes very small files don't trigger the download dialog)
- Convert to a ZIP file which may download more reliably
- Email/share the content in another format (DOCX, HTML)
If download still fails: Generate as Word document (DOCX) instead
