ofbiz cannot generate pdf invoices

I am a new ofbiz user. I am trying to localise the currency to Malawi Kwacha. When I make all necessary changes to ofbiz, the price is displayed with currency ISO code (MWK) instead of currency symbol mk infront of price digits. When I print checks (in pdf) ofbiz puts xx infront of price digits such as xx89.00. I suspect that the malawi currency symbol might be missing in the tables ofbiz uses to translate currency ISO code to currency symbol. I have serched on Internet and found out that Malawi currency symbol is not included in all the currency symbol tables I have seen so far. When I try to produce a pdf invoice, here is the error that is produced: The Following Errors Occurred: Unable to transform FO file: org.apache.fop.apps.FOPException: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 527; columnNumber: 167; The content of elements must consist of well-formed character data or markup.javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 527; columnNumber: 167; The content of elements must consist of well-formed character data or markup.Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Here is part of log print out that may help you to help me.

Re: ofbiz cannot generate pdf invoices

That error looks like a bug in CompanyHeader.groovy, it's not check that an
address was retrieved before trying to access it.

You can work around that issue by adding a "General Location" postal
address for the company party. It might not help your currency issue, but
will get you one step further along.

Scott

From your report, I believe I fixed the issue in trunk at r1722712 using Groovy safe navigation operator

Please create a Jira issue for me to backport to releases branches and create a mean to report in our releases notes

Thanks!

Re: ofbiz cannot generate pdf invoices

Jacques,

I am still new to ofbiz and I don't know how to create a jira. But I can explain what was the problem. In setting up the party (the company) I did not specify that one of the purposes of the postal address is for general correspondence. Once I did that, the problem disappeared.

Thank you for following up on the issue.

This is how to create a Jira, you can use the texts you used so far to fill the description. The aim is to have you contributing more in the future :)
