I don't think it's as simple as converting from binary to text and back again (as you've discovered). There's no guarantee that there'll be a one-to-one correspondence between the content of the binary file and the content of the text you pull out. If there were, utilities like POI that understand the binary representation wouldn't be all that useful.
