Hi there,

This could be due to the multiple quotes within the XFDF, please try using ticks (`) instead for the XFDF string instead.

If issue persists, could you share the issue XFDF?

Also we have tried to use ticks (`) sign but it is given the error in console.

Hi there,

This may have been caused by the tick () in the "Inch 11".

From the provided XFDF, removing the ‘<trn-custom-data’ element & converting the tick ’ → to a single quote allows the import to go through:
