Hi,

First of all thank you for your response.

I think appian reccomend not to use IDP for paragraph type contents.

Actually I can't send you samples.
Basically headings are like Article 1,2,3 etc. And contents are in paragraph form. Some big articles are present in multiple pages containing multiple paragraphs.
And some contents also contain article 1,2,3.... inside it.

I hope, you get my point.

Hi,

This method is very specific on the document format

First thing is to ask, can you use IDP? probably easier than working using the PDF plugin

Second thing, if it's all the heading that appears, you can just remove the heading with substitute(local!text, localHeading, "")

Third, if formers for some reason are not applicable, i think i will need to see a sample of the text that the getpdftext returns, it's that possible?
