That's the problem!!! I opened your PDF in a text editor. This is what I saw: 1 0 obj <</Type/XObject/Resources<</ProcSet [/PDF /Text /ImageB /ImageC /ImageI]/Font<</F1 2 0 R/F2 3 0 R>>>>/Subtype/Form/BBox[0 0 600 1550]/Matrix [1 0 0 1 0 0]/Length 4827/FormType 1/Filter/FlateDecode>>stream x??]Ms????W?q?????886f???l?;?????Gj????LRc??o???d????}q(<??y...@h$*??5i??ts???????80_?????z??????\?????_???????_???????n?]???????n-jo?????|\]?w?s????/?5?~??yRo??)M????^?r?6??PG?????t??o???\(?4???Xn??????j???;???e???1?+? ^?A?`5s??w?:????B?3???????w?+6l??WE??=*??? ??yz???_~????????k?q~?...@?????j?d???}?\5????\gr???g????qz+?z ?Z???,jF?um?E?-t?$p/???8?;e??>?m?????????t???~?j???,f????????R?wg?cK?x?sNk????Tb?a?h?e\P^?D:?"H??????.??J 34??wY?w??Ct?K?\??+?1???~???????G?????"e?h&???t??????E??f:g?????1?????mv?H?)c?3??c;?0????????????Q?? Do you see all these question marks? Those are "shaved bytes". Who shaved these bytes? JSP did! Compare the file with the correct PDF and you'll see that there are much less question marks. > Thank you in advance! Throw away your JSP as far as possible and replace it with a Servlet! If you have ever followed a course about JSP, you should have been taught that JSP IS NOT SUITED TO CREATE BINARY DATA. It's like eating soup with a fork instead of with a spoon. If you really insist on using JSP, you need configure your application server so that JSP doesn't treat binary data as non-binary data. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
