Hi,
I tried doing the same but still got the illegal characters.
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("Document.xml");
OutputFormat format = OutputFormat.createPrettyPrint();
format.setEncoding("UTF-8");
XMLWriter xmlWriter = new XMLWriter(out, format);
xmlWriter.write(docXML);
In the generated xml file, all the apostrophies(') are not readable....Any
clues?

The trick is to use the XMLWriter and use an OutputFormat object to set
the encoding.
OutputFormat format = new OutputFormat();
format.setEncoding(...)
XMLWriter writer = new XMLWriter(format, new FileWriter("foo.xml"));
writer.write(someDoc);
