[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Does the API endpoint for PDFs work?

[Celia Caust-Ellenbogen]

Thanks, Steve, for the tip! Validating the EAD showed me an unescaped
ampersand that was causing the problem.

I'm worried there might be more culprits like this lurking in our
database...does anyone know of an existing script to check for rogue
unencoded special characters?

And I am still curious about the API endpoint for EAD...has anyone used
this successfully? Is the problem specific to me or should I create a JIRA
ticket?
