[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Does the API endpoint for PDFs work?

[Seth Shaw]

We use the API to download PDFs for our website on a regular basis (since
we don't use the PUI) using a script I wrote (
https://github.com/seth-shaw-unlv/small-stuff/blob/master/as-coll-mint/as_coll_mint.py).
See line 210 (
https://github.com/seth-shaw-unlv/small-stuff/blob/31db6018bca18e9294b15db8094c8e4b8773a4f8/as-coll-mint/as_coll_mint.py#L210
).
