There's pleny of light here. You need to use the CFF stage OR the functions, I get the impression you are doing both. Are you? :?

Hello,

Yes, I am using CFF stage and using the functions to convert the binary values to ASCII format? do you mean we should be able to see this binary values in CFF stage? I mean we should'nt be using the functions at all?, this binary is real trouble....any help would be great......

YES. Both of us have stated more than once you do one or the other. Best to properly configure the CFF stage as it can do it all for you automagically. Or use the functions to convert all of the fields, not just the packed ones.
