I was trying fetching pdf text from file by splitting with char(0015). However, everything contains 15 in a document file is removed or replaced with blank value. Here is the code I tried for the same.

And I do not want to spend my time on assumptions and guesswork.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;char(15) does not remove anything, but return the character on slot 15 on the ASCII table.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Would you please provide enough information so that others can replicate your use case!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: PDF parsing</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/99176?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 09 Aug 2022 06:46:04 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:aadef4e2-8dfd-4334-9389-1386a5e0296d</guid><dc:creator>manjit.1486</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Actually, char(0015) removes digit 15 in the pdf file. let&amp;#39;s say- if price value is 1,15678&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This char(0015) removes 15 from the price value and get a value of 1,678.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is there a way, we can protect this value?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: PDF parsing</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/99144?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 08 Aug 2022 17:10:51 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:b73eb987-5b39-42c0-baa9-0c54ec323dac</guid><dc:creator>Stefan Helzle</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Sorry, I do not understand what you want to achieve or why you replace characters.
