Readthedocs.org: Delay in updating PDF

Expected Result

When I push a new commit to my GitHub repository, the HTML pages displayed on Rtd update almost immediately. I would expect the PDF to update at the same time.

Actual Result

The PDF lags behind the HTML docs by around 1 day. As of right now, the Overview section of my docs is empty in the PDF. This section was written in this commit 18 hours ago.

If this is normal and the PDFs are only generated once per day, I would expect this to be noted somewhere in the documentation. If this is not normal, let me know if there are any errors on my side.

Note: this issue may be related to #2758 in which other users reported their PDF files not being updated. They may have simply not waited long enough for them to be generated.

I had the same issue in our project. After deleting the cached web content from my browser the issue was fixed.

If I look at the most recent build log, it does indeed appear to be building both HTML and PDF versions of the documentation after each commit. I don't see any errors during the PDF build, so I'm not sure why it is not being updated on the website.
