Depending on your version it'll be a slightly different issue, but something somewhere in there has an ampersand that is causing the PDF generator to barf.</div>

I've seen these most often in notes and usually on something like J&J or B&T, some kind of a note with an ampersand withOUT any spaces around it. Usually changing those to J & & or B & T will fix it. You can also change it to & and that might do the trick.
Older versions of ArchivesSpace have more of those bugs than newer versions.</div>
