[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Finding Aid PDF Error

[Majewski, Steven Dennis (sdm7g)]

Yes — your logo image is pretty large. The easiest hack might be to edit and downsize the image file. 


The staff Postscript export uses Apache FOP. 
If you have a computer in which you can install a FOP processor and Saxon ( or if you can run Oxygen XML Editor ) 
You can debug the PDF output outside of ArchivesSpace, which can sometime be easier, especially if you’re trying
To identify if the problems is with the EAD export or the FOP transform. 

In this case, the problem is confined between the logo image size and the FOP transform. 
The FOP XSL Stylesheet is:  archivesspace/stylesheets/as-ead-pdf.xsl
So if you don’t want to edit the image, you can try hacking the FOP xsl file. 

I’m not very expert on FOP, but I’m guessing this is the part you would want to change. 
Maybe changing those content width/height values would do it. 
See what happens if you change “75%” to “50%”

I’m trying to figure this out with no real IT support, but with IT controlling server file access. So they sent me the .xsl file and told me to edit it to fix the problem and send it back to them to load to server.
