Hi Toni,

I understand that the PDF, when viewed as raw data is already "garbage", but in my test the "garbage" does not look the same as the original saved PDF. (Hope you understand what I mean here).


The problem is that yajl_addCharStmf() assumes the data to be character.  That's what was meant by "char" in "addCharStmf" (vs. something like addBinaryStmf), because it assumes the data to be character data, which a PDF is not. Since JSON documents are always in UTF-8 characters, it asks the OS to translate the data in the PDF into UTF-8 format.  This will change the binary values of your PDF, resulting in incorrect bytes.

The base64 solution will solve this problem, and is probably the best way to proceed.
