Error when generating report - work order activity report (pdf)

There are a couple of reasons of why this happens.
Most common problem: you are generating a report for multiple work orders which has too many assets. In the end, the browser will need to generate too many pdf pages (eg. thousands) which is not possible due to the timeout.
Example calculation
What is the limit then?
We did not set a limit in our software because don’t want to put restrictions on the users.
However, according to ChatGPT (these are just general guidelines)
"the limit actually depends on your browser and the time out.
How Many Pages Can Chrome Handle?
Safe Zone: Up to 500 pages for most systems.
High-End Systems: A few thousand pages (1,000–2,000 pages) if pages are lightweight.
Risky: 10,000+ pages is likely to result in instability or crashes unless the web content is extremely simple and resources are abundant."
Recommendation
Reduce the number of work orders that you want to generate. If you have too many assets in your work orders then it would be more practical to just print only 1 or a few work orders only.

In the end, it’s more about the purpose of your report. Is it practical to print out 10k pages of report to read?
