v2.6.0 added a fix for the dreaded unescaped ampersands in EAD export ( and PDF export from staff interface, which generates EAD and transforms to PDF, where malformed XML in the export stage is the usually problem when PDF export fails. ),

https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/commit/18f2f5100e8aa4510c61158a9accf279fb60e895


 but I don’t think it will fix this issue in the report generator.

I think adding some code to this clean_invalid_xml_characters() function to detect and escape unescaped ampersands might be the place to fix it:

What version are you running? There's a bunch of fixes in the new version for the dreaded ampersands!

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.
