I see this all the time when asking Claude or ChapGPT to produce a single-page two-column PDF summarizing the conclusions of our chat. Literally 99% of the time I get a multi-page unpredictably-formatted mess, even after gently asking over and over for specific fixes to the formatting mistake/s.

And as you say, they cheerfully assert that they've done the job, for real this time, every time.

Ask for the asciidoc and asciidoctor command to make a PDF instead. Chat bots aren’t designed to make PDFs. They are just trying to use tools in the background, probably starting with markdown.
