PDF Split code debug

Question

All

I have an Alteryx flow that separates a large PDF file into individual files based on an Employee ID renaming the files using the Employee ID

I have recently amended the flow to be used on a new file with 35 pages. The split has worked except for a single page in the file.

Here is an example of the file and the expression we are using to separate

The flow worked fine except for one page, for which it failed to recognize the Employee ID

The process seems to be failing at one of the RegEx stages (I suspect the first one as it is the one I am least confident about)

Can anyone see anything inherently wrong with the RegEx build that it might be ignoring that one number?

thank you - I will give that a go

@Dave It's really hard to help in these cases, so what I'd recommend is taking your regex into a tester like regex101.com, and copying the output of that specific pdf parse into the text so you can see if your RegEx is doing what you want it to.
