[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Export to PDF Failing

[Alexander Duryee]

Danielle,

Wow!  Thanks for sending this along - that's quite the PDF.

Which version of ASpace are you using?  Going through the listserv
archives, some other folk were having similar issues on recent (2.x.x)
versions of ASpace.

If you can send me the EAD from ASpace (as-exported, pre-tweaks), I'll be
happy to take a look at it and walk it through the PDF generation
processes.  ASpace generates its PDF finding aids by generating and
transforming the EAD XML, so the EAD is usually the first place to look
when the PDF is misbehaving.

Thanks,
--Alex
