[Bug 174751] Re: hexbin not converting some hqx files properly

[François GUÉRIN]

Hi all,

I've received by mail a PDF compresssed as an hqx file (prefix "(This
file must be converted with BinHex 4.0)").

I've used ZigZag to extract it, I've a good old pdf file, working
perfectly.

I've installed macutils, to try to extract it without wine, the file can be extracted, but not read with evince. 
File converted with ZigZag : file.pdf
File converted with binhex : file.pdf.bin

I've done  
$ less fichier.pdf.bin

... (it's just the file start)

$ var file.pdf | less

As you can see, the "standart" pdf header is not respected, and some
"noise" is added by hexbin on top of the file.

I use actualy a Karmic 64, sorry for my poor english...
