  • (generally better to stick to your original thread, but let's stay here now, since this has all the information).

    Private mode is expected to fail.
    For the other issue
    Do you have Standalone open when you do this?

    In that case, PDF failure is expected, too. PDFs don't download for some databases when going through a proxy and using Standalone.
