Thanks guys. Binmode did fix my encoding issue of a PDF file. However, Binmode does not do anything while decoding it. Decoded file is still corrupted.

I suspect you're using binmode with `FILE` as argument. Considering you original post you should use `binmode STDOUT;` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Thank you so much zwon! That was it. I took the stdout part out completely and now I am printing to a file directly rather than redirection from stdout. Thanks again. Ash	[reply]
