How to fix error for Email Template with PDF attachment | Error occurred trying to load the template for preview: PDF generation failed. Check the page markup is valid.. Please try editing your markup to correct the problem.

First time doing my own Visual Force Email Template. I thought I had it all and then this message shows up:

Error occurred trying to load the template for preview: PDF generation failed. Check the page markup is valid.. Please try editing your markup to correct the problem.

Here is what my template looks like

<messaging:emailTemplate subject="Packaging Request from {!$User.FirstName} " recipientType="Contact" relatedToType="Opportunity">
<messaging:plainTextEmailBody >
{!recipient.name},

We have a packaging request for {!$Organization.Name}. Please find attached the PDF with all the relevant information




Regards,
{!$User.FirstName} {!$User.LastName}
 
</messaging:plainTextEmailBody>

Wow - that's quite a bit of code to try to find invalid markup in. When I have these issues, I usualy comment out large sections of code and see if I still get the invalid markup. If you can narrow it down to a few lines - then usually you'll see the error.

I also got this error.
First, remove the 'renderAs="pdf"' attr to check the inner error,
(I suggest to add <html> and <body> tag to the <messaging:attachment> tag.)
If there's no error that you saved successfully, add the 'renderAs="pdf"' attr back.

After save you may get that error massage again, but ignore it, just try to send a test email, maybe you can get the pdf attachment successfully.
I just recieved the correct email with correct PDF attachemnt while the error message still on.
So maybe it's an 'error' error message.

That's how I fixed this. I hope it could help.
