 Can everyone help me with this error message? I guess that PDF can&amp;#39;t be created because of some special character? ERROR: An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x1a) was found in the element content of the document

&lt;p&gt;use clean function to clean data before sending it to PDF&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Eg: try running below in a rule. It cleans any characters not considered printable&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;clean(&amp;quot;Hello ╜ world&amp;quot;)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x1a) was found</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/90178?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 25 Jan 2022 14:15:06 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:81700442-436f-444a-a80f-3fc052f8b096</guid><dc:creator>Darko</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Yes, that&amp;#39;s true. I found in the customer name some characters that can&amp;#39;t be recognized by PDF converter.&lt;br /&gt;Bad data quality.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Do you have some advice on how to solve this? Except for manually customer name change directly in DB. Thanks&lt;/p&gt;
