Description:
------------
I have used covert_uudecode module now to decrypt some PDF content.

I found that the result is always corrupted, and the problem would appear to be in line 52,

$c = count($bytes = unpack('c*', substr(trim($line), 1)));

The trim(...) operation is removing not only trailing line breaks but also any spaces that may be part of the legitimate content. Modifying line 52 to read:

$c = count($bytes = unpack('c*', substr(trim($line,"\r\n\t"), 1)));

would seem to correct this problem.
