Hello all,
We've encountered an odd phenomenon. A Series was created in a finding aid, but then the series title disappeared and we cannot click on or edit the series. We can do other things like add children.

Has anyone seen this before or have ideas of how to fix it? Since we can't select the Series, we can't delete it either.

Thanks

We found a workaround by exporting the EAD, correcting the html tag, then importing the EAD.

However, now, we cannot export the finding aid as a PDF. Exporting as MARCXML and EAD both work fine, it's just the PDF. We get the following message:

Is this something we can fix (how)? Or do we need help from the back end?

Thanks
