You are doing some byte translation somewhere. The iText output is bytes, there's no encoding in the process. Let's say you generated the PDF and have it in some OS/390 directory. If you transfer this PDF via FTP (in binary mode) to a windows machine does it work? If you look at the PDF in the OS/390 with an hex editor what are the first 4 bytes?

The Output i show you is the generated pdf.
When i try to open it with Acrobat Reader it say "There was an error opening the Docoument.File does not begin with '%PDF-'."
Do u intend this when u ask me if i opened it?
Other informations are:
- System.property.file.encoding is set to Cp1047
- Java classes are also setted to encoding Cp1047
I cannot change these settings.
- My reader is the generated PDF I start from.
- The fields in logger.info are display correctly, so i presume the reading sequence should be ok.
For Test i tried the code in a Windows machine with Tomcat and "obviusly" it works.
- There's any test can i do in reading or writing process?
U need more info?
Thanks for your time
Claudio
