What’s valid in EAD if often quite surprising (and fun!) 😊 Also, while the EAD-to-PDF stylesheet process could certainly be updated so that it doesn’t generate duplicate IDs in this case, given that ArchivesSpace doesn’t (and needn’t!!!) support nested notes of the same type, I don’t think that there’s any reason to make the PDF stylesheet even more lenient than it already is.
I am curious to find out how this got into ASpace, though. My guess is that this was imported via EAD, and the nested bioghist note wound up producing not just 1 or 2 bioghist notes as you might expect (assuming that what was imported was just that first bioghist note), but instead a combo of that, resulting in 3 notes. But I’ve not clue if that’s right or not… just a guess based on the output.

That nested note is also followed by two more bioghist notes, which look to be complete duplicates of the nested bioghist note. So, short answer: delete that first bioghist note. The ASpace EAD-to-PDF transformation process will add IDs to elements that don’t have IDs (see https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/blob/master/stylesheets/as-helper-functions.xsl#L22-L32) and it looks like in this file there was some sort of import error perhaps??? Because of that, once the EAD is transformed into a PDF file, those nested notes wind up with the same ID (which is used for internal linking purposes in the PDF), and that is what is causing the error. Here’s the duplicative EAD that’s being output, slightly altered to remove most of the text: <bioghist id="aspace_e399b9ecb1260e6afc1ed9b4b2a8c876"> <head>Biographical / Historical</head> <bioghist altrender="Biographical Information" encodinganalog="545$a"> <p>Georgia Ragsdale Curtis lived in Roanoke, Virginia ... Georgia Ragsdale Curtis died on April 11, 2008. </p> </bioghist> <bioghist altrender="Administrative History" encodinganalog="545$b"> <head>Administrative History:</head> <p>Georgia Ragsdale Curtis lived in Roanoke, Virginia ... until her death in 2008.</p> </bioghist> </bioghist> <bioghist id="aspace_80845d08a7b4567ffc074921441fc4dd"> <head>Biographical Information:</head> <p>Georgia Ragsdale Curtis lived in Roanoke, Virginia ... Georgia Ragsdale Curtis died on April 11, 2008. </p> </bioghist> <bioghist id="aspace_0094949f395f6cc76548c3ac2046a51a"> <head>Administrative History:</head> <p>Georgia Ragsdale Curtis lived in Roanoke, Virginia ... until her death in 2008.</p> </bioghist> If you delete that entire first bioghist note from ASpace (the one with ID = e399b9ecb1260e6afc1ed9b4b2a8c876), and just leave those two bioghist notes below (which are repeats of the nested bioghist note), you should be good to go.

I assume you’re generating PDF from the staff interface, which first serializes resource as EAD XML and then runs that thru the FOP processor ( which is where it’s catching and complaining about the error in the EAD ( org.apache.fop.fo… ) You should export resource as EAD and look for duplicate id’s , or post it here and we’ll take a look. I don’t think ArchivesSpace would have generated or assigned duplicate IDs: was this resource created by importing EAD that might have contained duplicates ? — Steve M.
