[Archivesspace_Users_Group] help requested with an error message - missing attribute

Note that the print to PDF process runs the EAD through an XSLT to
create an XSL Formatting Objects (XSL-FO) document which is then
converted into a PDF. This error may refer to line 3255 your
as-ead-pdf.xsl (which lives in the stylesheets subdirectory of the
archivesspace home directory), but that seems unlikely if the print to
PDF works for other documents, OR the error could be the result of a
bad transformation. I would first check the as-ead-pdf.xsl and, if
that doesn't seem to be the source, run the EAD through the stylesheet
using oXygen and check the output.

If none of that turns anything up send along the original EAD and your
as-ead-pdf.xsl to see if we can help debug.

Good luck!
