<div dir="ltr">The PDF exporter first generates EAD XML file and parses that to generate the PDF. If the XML is invalid the PDF export will fail. In this case, it looks like you have unescaped ampersands somewhere that the XML parser is trying to interpret as XML entities. If you find these, replacing them with & should make this error go away.</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Sep 22, 2021 at 3:23 PM Esh, John C. <<a href="mailto:jesh@towson.edu">jesh@towson.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
