Hi Volker, I checked it again today and I could download the PDF. Maybe last time it was the problem you described.
Thanks!
Günter

Is there any other extension to export wiki pages with mathematical formulas to PDF?
The Collection extension [1] supports rendering math formulas. Actually the Collection extension (with the back-end software mwlib/mwlib.rl [2]) is what's behind the "Download as PDF" button.
Also "Download as PDF" on http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Displaying_a_formula does not work.
I just checked that page and exporting to PDF works. The problem you probably encountered was that rendering pages with lots of formulas takes some time. Now the page (and the formulas) are cached and the result should show up pretty much instantaneously (until somebody changes the page).
