Hi there,
Based on the error message it sounds like that a required library function (pango_context_set_round_glyph_positions) for PDF generation is missing. It’s likely that there’s a version mismatch issue with the pango library installed in your DigitalOcean App environment.
A workaround here could be to build a custom Dockerfile for your application which includes the required dependencies with the correct versions. This approach would provide you with more control over your environment and allow you to manage system-level dependencies where as when using the native App Platform builds you don’t have that control.
You can follow the steps on how to use a Dockerfile together with the App Platform here:

Hope that this helps!
