ISSUE :
Some characters cannot be used in the tag.
ANSWER :
Illegal Characters
In PDF-eXPLODE, the tag (without the <pdfexplode> front and back node) is used as a temporary PDF file name. Some characters cannot be used in a file name as they are regarded by Windows as illegal characters; hence these cannot be used within the tag . These characters are
? / \ < > ! | ' { } " ; *
- Where / is used in a date, PDF-eXPLODE will convert this to a dash (-)
- where a / is used between text or numbers that do not evaluate to a valid date, an underscore (_) will be used as a replacement
- A double quote will be converted to a single quote '
Reserved Characters
PDF-eXPLODE also has some characters that are reserved and their use is prohibited within text or as part of a variable or Message ID name. These characters are:
# % @ ^ ` ,
- ` (back quote ) is used on either side of some text value of a variable if the text contains a comma
- % (per cent) is the character used at the end of a string of variables
- # (hash or Pound) is used to signify that the preceding text is a Message ID
- @ (at) is used as part of an email address
- , (comma) is used to separate each variable
