Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched for any existing and/or related issues.
  • I have searched for any existing and/or related discussions.
  • I have also searched in the CLOSED issues AND CLOSED discussions and found no related items (your issue might already be addressed on the development branch!).
  • I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Docker

Open WebUI Version

v0.9.1 and v0.9.2

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

pop_os 22.04

Browser (if applicable)

Chrome 147

Confirmation

  • I have read and followed all instructions in README.md.
  • I am using the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
  • I have included the browser console logs.
  • I have included the Docker container logs.
  • I have provided every relevant configuration, setting, and environment variable used in my setup.
  • I have clearly listed every relevant configuration, custom setting, environment variable, and command-line option that influences my setup (such as Docker Compose overrides, .env values, browser settings, authentication configurations, etc).
  • I have documented step-by-step reproduction instructions that are precise, sequential, and leave nothing to interpretation. My steps:
  • Start with the initial platform/version/OS and dependencies used,
  • Specify exact install/launch/configure commands,
  • List URLs visited, user input (incl. example values/emails/passwords if needed),
  • Describe all options and toggles enabled or changed,
  • Include any files or environmental changes,
  • Identify the expected and actual result at each stage,
  • Ensure any reasonably skilled user can follow and hit the same issue.

Expected Behavior

Clicking download as PDF for a chat should give a document with user and model responses.

Actual Behavior

Gives an empty document without any responses, only model names:

Steps to Reproduce

  • Start a chat with a model
  • Click download chat, and Download as PDF
  • open PDF, no responses present

Additional Information

It's actually CRITICAL issue, and it is a very serious bug which makes system useless in many cases - our analytics run query, got very useful result, and can not send them as download is broken (and pdf is the only useful format). And it should have some trivial reason why it suddenly broke, should be easy to fix it.
