Mark,
Thanks for your offer to look over my EAD, with regards to my inability to
generate a PDF from a resource. I will directly forward you the EAD file (and a
copy of the same file formatted for better viewing.)
The "Oral History" collection is the resource I was attempting to generate a
PDF from. You are able to view it at:
http://archivesspace.cshl.edu/repositories/2/resources/39
BTW - Is it possible to capture the temporary XSL-FO file on my end, before it
is removed by the termination of the PDF generation?
That might give me a hint to which archival object might be a problem.
Celia,
With regards to your question: Are you using the pdf_per_repository plugin from
UNLV?
No. I am using the built in ASpace staff interface.
Thanks
-Tom Adams

Thomas,
If you could send me a copy of the EAD file, I can take a look this afternoon
(I'm working on a new process to create PDF files in ASpace using the new EAD3
export option, but I have the current ASpace PDF files handy for testing).
The issue is definitely that the current EAD to PDF process is creating an
invalid XSL-FO file, which Apache FOP cannot then render properly as a PDF
file, as Trevor mentioned. Without seeing the EAD file, though, it's
impossible to tell if there's an issue in the EAD or the XSL file that's being
used to create the temporary XSL-FO file.
Mark

I see the following error message:

Generating PDF for Oral History

Trevor Thornton gave the following suggestion to the ASpace mailing list (back
in 2017-03-21) to a similar error message:
Looks like there is a list in a note somewhere that has no list items -
that what this seems to be saying:
org.apache.fop.fo.ValidationException: "fo:list-block" is missing child
elements. Required content model: marker* (list-item)+ (See position
508:68)
I would try to export the resource as an EAD, and if that works you might
more easily search through the XML to find the problem.
I was able to "Export | Download EAD", that resource as suggested, but there
were only three <list type="ordered"> tags in the EAD and all of them had
<head> and <item> as children.
I also looked on the ArchivesSpace server and was not able to find a temporary
file created at that time, that might have position 1794:68 (line#:char).
Any suggestions on what to try next?
Thanks
-Tom
