Joel,
The PDF is a binary data format. So, trying to decode with an ASCII
encoding vonverter would result in data loss.
I recommend processing it as mere bytes without mapping to a string.

Dear Cocoa-dev People,
I have a file with some metadata prepended to a pdf.
I want to strip the metadata off and display the pdf.
I was trying to do this:
- (void) loadFromPath: (NSString *) path
{
NSData *myData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:path];
NSString *myStr = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:pdfData
encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
// I strip off the metadata here, leaving the pdfStr.
// Nothing I've tried here has worked:
NSData * myNewData = [pdfStr dataUsingEncoding: ???];
// Display the pdf here...
}
How can I get this to work?
Sincerely,
Joel Norvell
