Diagnosis

In the section PDF Space Export Header or PDF Space Export Header there is a div tag with the form:

<div ... /> 

Please note that this only happens for Space PDF export, page XML export can still work normally.

Cause

In the PDF Layout for the space (or the global one if non is specified) there is a div tag without any content:

<div ... /> 

Workaround

Replace your tag without content by an opening and a closing tag:

<div ...></div>
