most of the time this is due to dompdf (our html->pdf library) running out of memory

a good solution is to use wkhtmltopdf instead. we've not yet migrated the demo servers to do so

Thanks Lobo. I increased the php memory from 512MB to 2GB but this didn't seem to help. Then I switched the HTML editor from CKeditor to the Joomla default editor (TinyMCE), and this did the trick. I don't think that the problem was with the PDF generation, because it didn't get as far as that - we couldn't even pull in the template info.

Incidentally, changing to TinyMCE also solved another issue - empty address lines had been displaying/printing as blank lines. With the new editor, the PDF generates cleanly, with blank lines omitted.

So, happy :)
