[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Finding Aid PDF Error

[June L Power]

Following up on a pre-holiday issue.

I was able to edit the .xsl file to reduce the image size from 75% to 25% but it had no effect on the output. I also have a resized image, but I’m not sure where to tell the IT people to put it as I don’t know what the structure on the server looks like.

I have no access to my server I just have to give IT specific directions – like put logo image in xyz folder with abc name.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

June

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%”

Thanks Steve.

I’m running version v2.6.0 and creating the PDF from the staff interface. I am unable to create them from the public side.  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.

I’ve attached a sample of what it is doing right now. There is a logo image there and it is pretty large.

What version of ArchivesSpace are you running, and is this PDF produced from the Staff interface of the PUI ?
Also: have you added a custom logo image ?
( I have seen some problems in the past if your custom logo is much larger that the default image. )

I am new to using ASpace and have been looking through the documentation trying to find a resolution for this error.

The collection information text is overlapping the repository text. The repository text is later repeated. How can I remove the repository text from this page of the generated PDF?

TIA!
