This may help to solve this issue

reduce(
fn!substitute,
/*to HTML not neede when all escape char are used, otherwise will doulble escape (e.g. "lt;" without &)*/
/*toHtml(*/
ri!inputStr
/*)*/
,
merge(
{
"&",
"<",
">",
"'",
"""",
char(10)
},
{
"&",
"<",
">",
"'",
""",
"
"
}
)
)

For ri!inputStr, pass the value which contains the above special characters

using tohtml() solves the problem. You should use it in the nod of the word-document

I tried using tohtml( index() &index()) in the same way as above but still has the same issue(displaying "&amp" in the pdf).

Can you please let me know how did it work for you?

But if you definetely want to have the '&' in the word document, I am not sure of the exact solution but you can try passing the ascii codes for this special chars.

AFAIK, When you have the & in the word document itself i will not be generated, In other words the Smart service using the generate word document from template will be executed but the word document will not be opened. so when converting from word to pdf also fails... Try removing the & kind of special characters and run it.. I have faced the similar situation and I removed all the '&' and I could able to open and convert successfully
