It sounds like the known issue, but I do see a difference. The PDF that I'm using can be read correctly on Linux when it isn't running in WAS and it can be read correctly when it is running on WAS in a Windows environment. The problem seems to be with IBM JVM environment on Linux. I'm planning on asking IBM about it, if I get an answer or find a work around I'll post back. If anyone has an ideals on how to solve it, let me know.
