Picture in PDF

Question

Hello All,
     I have an issue while converting bytearray to String.
The problem primarily is, I have a PDF which contains a picute embedded in that.
I need to read this PDF and has to conver it into String.
When converting to String I'm facing some issues with data getting corrupted. When I write the data back,
the PDF will be invalid and will open without the picture message.
The code I need to get working is
FileInputStream fin= new FileInputStream("Input.pdf"):
byte[] bin = new byte[fin.available()];
String sin = new String (bin,"UTF-8");// I guess this is creating the problem , I tried almost all the supported encoding, but did no good :-(
FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream("Output.pdf");
fout.write(sin.getBytes());
fout.close;
fin.close;
Any help will be hihgly appresiated as this is a critical problem for me.
TIA,
Kannan

I missed the explanation of why you had to change those bytes to a string. Just don't do that and you won't corrupt your PDF.
