We are experiencing an error that is specifically found within the auto-generated PDF view.

Finding aids viewed within the auto-generated PDF view are producing erroneous links. These linking errors are limited to supplementary PDF files that are saved in the user-pdf-dav directory.

The link structure for supplementary PDF files is typically:

https://oac.cdlib.org/data/13030/##/########/files//[filename]

But the auto-generated PDF view instead points to:

http://www.oac.cdlib.org/[filename]

Please note, this only affects the links from the auto-generated PDF view. The links continue to work correctly on the OAC browser view, as well as the HTML view.

We are investigating a fix for this. Please feel free to provide additional reports of this error in the comments. Thanks!
