My pdf output has & for "&" and &apo;s for "'s".

How can I get it to print & and 's instead of those escape characters?

Source is XML. and xml has those escape characters.

I used a grid and in one of the row in grid im loading data from xml dataset.

So, your xml is something like:

<customers>
    <customer>
        <cname>Larry&apo;s Auto Shop</cname>
    </customer>
    <customer>
        <cname>Kansas City Lawn &amp; Garden</cname>
    </customer>
</customers>

And these values are showing like this in the PDF output?

I'm not seeing the same issue. How are you executing your report?

I'm using Informatica B2B Data Transformation studio to run the report.

I have two separate reports. Both has same kind of information

1st report is working correctly. "& " is displaying correctly. But not in 2nd report.
