[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Error generating PDF export for a finding aid.

Tue Mar 15 08:43:57 EDT 2022

Hi Kirill,

The relevant line in your error message is this:

> org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 139; columnNumber: 16002; The
> reference to entity "G" must end with the ';' delimiter.

I have not seen that specific error before, but I find it's often easiest
to export the resource as EAD and look at the XML for the issue.

Also, the staff interface and PUI use different PDF exporters.  Sometimes
you can generate a PDF from one and not the other.

All the best,

Dan

P. S. Minor qualification to Jim's note about ampersands.  In our
experience, ampersands work fine if there are spaces after them.  It's
ampersands immediately followed by a character that throws errors.
