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

[Brian Harrington]

Hi Kirill,

Usually this error means that you have a <ref> or <extref> with a target that doesn’t exist.  If you have trouble finding it, and want to post an EAD export from the collection here, we can help you track it down.

Thank you,

I found an ampersand that was causing this problem, Now I’m getting another error:

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.

I am wondering if this is the “&” problem. A PDF cannot be generated if there is an “&” anywhere in the description. We ran into that problem here at Clemson.
