[Archivesspace_Users_Group] FW: Unable to create Accession Report in PDF

[Benn Joseph]

When we had the same ampersand problem, we did have to fix them all by hand. We’d export the EAD for records that were known ampersand offenders, find the problem characters, and then fix them directly in the Resource record/archival object/etc. But, it was only for ampersands that were not followed by a space! So “AT&T” would cause an error, but “AT & T” is totally fine. You may find it’s the same for you.

Thanks Blake!  We do have “&” in accession records (in title and various other fields).  It’s going to be a lot of work to replace all of them.  Is this something the software can look for and take care of?  We were able to get the same report in other formats with no problem (JSON, RTF, HTML).

"The entity name must immediately follow the '&' in the entity reference."

That makes me think there's an ampersand in that record and it's choking on it when it tries to make the PDF.

Is there anything in there with ampersands? Like "J&J Automotive" or something?

We are having problem creating Accession Report in PDF format.  All other formats (JSON, CSV, RTF) are working, just not the PDF format.  I have attached log below.



Any help is greatly appreciated.
