How to replace 2 or more characters in advanced pdf? For example, I want to replace ; or ^ with blank space. I've tried ?replace(";"|"^"," ").

You can either change the replaces `${field?replace(",", " ")?replace("^", " ")}` or use <https://freemarker.apache.org/docs/ref_builtins_string.html#ref_builtin_string_flags|regex>
`${field?replace(",|\\^", " ", "r")}`

Thank you. How do you know which characters to escape? (Sorry, not a developer)

I am aware of the first option but I have like 10 characters to replace, so it'd be super long

It would be any character that could be interpreted as a regex construct, can check the list <https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html|here>
