@panyam, with GNU sed, I get:
Code:
$ printf "%s\n" "${file_name1}"| cut -d"#" -f2|  gsed "s/\([!-~]*\)_PLK\([0-9]*\)_\([!-~]*\).PDF/\1_\2.pdf/"
RYK11603_5692601.pdf

must be down to GNU sed versions then.

--edit---
Never mind it is of course a range of characters....


What happens when you replace the ! with ^ which is the proper negation operator in regex?
Code:
printf "%s\n" "${file_name1}"| cut -d"#" -f2|  sed "s/\([^-~]*\)_PLK\([0-9]*\)_\([^-~]*\).PDF/\1_\2.pdf/"
