(‐) This is the symbol that is converting to #.

The thing is client is copying the text from somewhere that includes this (‐) and it's long text. How we can solve in that case?

If I am manual type the text and putting a hyphen it's working fine because in manual typing we are using hyphen.

Check if the it is any non-standard characters like em-dashes (—), en-dashes (–), or any other symbol that looks like a hyphen but isn’t (–, —, etc.). If there is any, replace with a regular hyphen (-)

It could be that your hyphen character is actually an em dash, which is an extended Unicode character. I would guess that it isn't in the PDF font, so it is shown as a hash character instead.
