An invalid XML character

Hi,

I'm getting the following from the archive when I try to open an archived pdf. It's not affecting all pdfs just some.

Maybe something I've missed in setup ?

com.openedit.OpenEditException: com.openedit.OpenEditRuntimeException:

Kevin,

It looks like you have some illegal xml in a .xconf file somewhere, probably somewhere along the path

/archive/products/pdfs/2008/GA_2008_11_06/

Look through those folders for a _site.xconf with bad XML. If you aren't sure, you can post the contents of the .xconf here and we can take a look at it for you.

Sorry I don't have a more precise answer for you, Kevin. It is a little difficult to tell from that error exactly where the problem is.

Taylor,

thanks for the reply, below are 4 line from the from the offening xml file. The error appear to relate to a line of text that corresponds to where there is a euro symbol in the pdf, i've noticed the same with other pdfs.

I can provide you with a copy of the pdf if you wish.

I think the last 3 lines you copied from the XML file got cut off. Could you try to post that again?

well me pasting the offending text doesn't appear to be working

www.advertiser.ie/uploads/GA_0611_E1_006.pdf.xconf.zip

This is a link to the xml file its self

Also the pdf www.advertiser.ie/uploads/GA_0611_E1_006.pdf

Kevin,

It looks like the library we were using to create the full searchable text for pdfs has some issues. We just checked in a fix to scrub out illegal characters from the text. If you upgrade your Search module and re-import the pdfs it should work. I just tried it locally with your pdf and it imported without issue and I was able to get to the product details page and download the pdf.

Hope this helps,
