Maybe add a log to indicate how often a retry occurs? (Assuming that general failures are also logged, this would let us evaluate whether it's worth trying a second time)

Longer term, this would be a candidate to make into an async response and defer to celery.

# retry once, then give up

pdf = doc.pdfized()

Should probably be except Exception - a bare except catches low-level non-Exception interruptions that shouldn't normally be caught without re-raising.
