A few things that can go wrong:

How do you merge the data from the cgi, and the one from the php?
Do you perchance use "put url ("file:" & thePath) instead of "put url ("binfile:" & thePath)"? Do you set the header in the cgi correctly, assuring the browser/pdf reader knows that you're sending binary, and not textual data?
Are you sure all binary data uses the correct byte order?
etc.

You might be sure there is no problem, but that's no guarantee that it actually all works without error ;-)

Hi folks,

I'm trying to insert binary data (generated by a php script via a shell
call)
on the fly into some other data generated by my Rev cgi script to form a

pdf file.
I'm 100% sure that the binary data from php isn't corrupted, but once it

gets inserted in the other data, then I get an error when attempting to
read
the pdf code in the acrobat plugin of my browser... And I'm also sure
that
the pdf code generated inside the Rev cgi is correct...
Hence my question : how to work with binary data inside a cgi script
without
corrupting it ?

I'm on a Linux server with Rev cgi 2.5.

thanks,
JB
