Pdfcrowd Error: 1 - What does this mean?

I'm looping through an array of URLs, to create PDFs of them, but after number three, I get the following error: "Pdfcrowd Error: 1", but I can't seem to figure out what this means?

I have no idea what this could mean, the service does not return such error message. Please could you post your API integration code so we can take a look at it?

The line that dumps that error "message" is the following:

} catch(PdfcrowdException $e) {
	die('Pdfcrowd Error: ' . $e->getMessage());
}

So indeed it's a message from Pdfcrowd as far as I can see. I haven't managed to reproduce the error with a status code, so hard to know why.

This indeed looks like a bug on our end. Any chance you could post the HTML code or the URL that gives you this error? Do you use headers or footers?

Thanks.
