[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Does the API endpoint for PDFs work?

[Majewski, Steven Dennis (sdm7g)]

Try exporting the EAD and validating. 
There are still some cases where it exports malformed XML in some cases where these is mixed content in a note.
The staff PDF export, first exports EAD which then goes to the as-ead-pdf.xsl stylesheet and then to the FOP processor. 
Feeding badly formed XML to the stylesheet will fail, and the error messages don’t seem to be caught.
