# [Update - Better error handling of PDF generation](https://blog.bettyblocks.com/product-changes/update-better-error-handling-of-pdf-generation)

 Written by [Dennis Tel](https://blog.bettyblocks.com/product-changes/author/dennis-tel) | Mar 7, 2018 2:34:00 PM

We have updated the error handling in the PDF generation process. When a PDF document is generated, the PDF property on that record is marked as 'busy' or 'in progress'. When the generation fails (for example, when the row size is too large) there was no proper error handling in place.

  

Better error handling of PDF generation

If a generation error occurs, the error will now be logged in your application logs. Also the 'busy' state will be properly removed from the PDF property on that specific record. So you you will be able to re-generate the PDF again.
