I have a use case for AI Skills but it seems whenever i pass any document this happens. For this example im passing a PDF file exported from a word file uploaded to appian, and it is being called by the process model below as a constant. Using the Extract From Document Smart Service doesnt give me an output, when I check the reconciliation all characters are being outputed as boxes, as shown in the screenshot.Checking with the actual document before and after goes through the smart service ( document passed through different variables for before and after ) and it is shown normally. Would want to understand why this is happening and what steps i need to take to rectify this issue.

Hi,  I am using a Record Type, and it has years of existing data. Unfortunately, the active data is identified by the length of the column name "uniqueFieldId", which is a text value so there is no consistency. Note, this is not a primary key in the table. The active field length must be 5 characters long. Anything greater or less is not considered active. Since it has years of existing data, we do not want to insert a new column, as I was thinking the easiest solution would be run a sql inserting an isActive column and then running the filter on it.  Now, my requirement is to use a record type, and filter the data. I am unsure how I can use record filters to ignore data by the length of the characters in the uniqueFieldId. The record type is then being used in a readonly grid. A gist of the code below, the aggregation below is necessary as there are other fields and calculations I am doing using relationships to this record type.  In a gist, is
