[Archivesspace_Users_Group] ead2pdf manual PDF creation?

Steve,
Thanks so much for this! I can confirm this .jar file works as expected: you don’t have to cd into the ead2pdf directory and you can create a pdf in another location (directory permissions permitting, obviously).

OK: Latest version also fixes the relative URLS for logo reference when running out of the jar file.
You should be able to download and run just the jar file from this release.

Release jarfile-fix: tagged for release: fixes problems with relative URLs when running ap… · sdm7g/ead2pdf<https://github.com/sdm7g/ead2pdf/releases/tag/jarfile-fix>


Try replacing ead2pdf/lib/archivesspace.small.png in the .jar file with your own logo renamed.

My fork at https://github.com/sdm7g/ead2pdf
is working out of the .jar alone now, finding the included stylesheet,
however it’s still getting an error on including the logo ./lib/archivesspace.small.png
which it still expects to be relative to $PWD.

Looking for a fix for that...

Also, it’s apparently not possible to create a PDF file anywhere outside of the ead2pdf directory either…

Hi Chris,
I’m still having trouble running this when I’m not in the ead2pdf directory, as Steve points out below.

I ran the conversion on a random exported EAD file and got the same error.
The rest of the message shows it couldn’t find as-helper-functions.xsl

work$ java -jar  ../ead2pdf/ead2pdf.jar prod/local-exp/22-MSS12838.xml  22.pdf
prod/local-exp/22-MSS12838.xml
22.pdf
Error at /xsl:stylesheet/xsl:include[1]
  XTSE0165: I/O error reported by XML parser processing
  file:/projects/Archivespace/work/lib/as-helper-functions.xsl:
  /projects/Archivespace/work/lib/as-helper-functions.xsl (No such file or directory)
NoMethodError: undefined method `rewind' for nil:NilClass

It looks like there’s a path dependency on finding that file:

ead2pdf$ ack as-helper-functions
lib/as-ead-pdf.xsl
24:    <xsl:include href="./lib/as-helper-functions.xsl"/>

lib/AS_fop.rb
36:   # @xslt.gsub!('<xsl:include href="as-helper-functions.xsl"/>', "<xsl:include href='#{File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '../lib', 'as-helper-functions.xsl')}'/>" )


When I cd into the ead2pdf directory and run the same transform, it runs without error.

[ file path is:  ead2pdf/lib/as-helper-functions.xsl ]

Hey,

We’re trying to set up a workflow where we automatically generate PDF copies of finding aids from our EAD. Rather than set up two API calls (one to export updated EAD and one to download updated PDF), we wanted to use the ead2pdf.jar to run through and create PDF files.

However, when trying to run it from our dev server, I’m getting the following error:

NoMethodError: undefined method `rewind' for nil:NilClass

Any idea what could be causing that?
