binary characters in FO-PDF conversion

["Hamacher, Eric" <Er...@gallup.com>]

Hello:

I have a an XML document and an xslt document which contains a binary character.  When I try to convert it to a PDF, part of the PDF is garbled and deformed.  The transformation works with XEP, so the documents are OK.  I think that the binary character may be causing this problem but I'm not sure.  How do I deal with these characters?  Here is my code:


    public File transform(Document xml, Document xslt, String id) {
        FopFactory fopFactory = FopFactory.newInstance();
        FOUserAgent foUserAgent = fopFactory.newFOUserAgent();
        File pdfFile = new File(System.getProperty("PDFSaveLocation") + "/" + id + "pdf.pdf");
        OutputStream out = null;

        try {
            out = new java.io.FileOutputStream(pdfFile);
            out = new java.io.BufferedOutputStream(out);
            Fop fop = fopFactory.newFop(MimeConstants.MIME_PDF, foUserAgent, out);
            TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
            Transformer transformer = factory.newTransformer(new DOMSource(xslt));
            Source src = new DOMSource(xml);
            Result res = new SAXResult(fop.getDefaultHandler());
            transformer.transform(src, res);

        }
        catch(Throwable t) {
            t.printStackTrace(System.err);
        }
        finally {
            try {
                out.close();
            }
            catch (Exception e) {

            }
        }
        return pdfFile;
    }

Which 'binary' are you referring to exactly?
Can you dump the resulting FO and mail it to us, so we can check for  
ourselves? If it's rather large or contains confidential information,  
just send it off-list, so it's not sent to all subscribers. To  
localize the problem, it would be helpful if you could minimize the FO  
(the smallest possible that triggers the issue)


Thanks
