If I understand well, using the SAME String on the server, the file written to the server was OK, but the file sent to the OutputStream is wrong. > I saved the file that the browse-embedded Acrobat Reader showed (the > one without the watermark), and then opened both (this one and the > properly watermarked one) and found that the internal differences are > that some characters show like "?" in the not properly watermarked > file.

I feel the answer is very close... I have seen this happening before, but only in a context where a very old webserver was used; it treated the binary file as plain text (throwing away the higher bit of every byte). A webserver upgrade solved the problem. br, Bruno ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
