According to the specification, driver is not required to perform
data conversions in setXXX methods. Maybe we will develop the code
later.

Any stack trace with sample code causing the error would be great!

Can you send the sample message? The problem with error handling is
usually in the long messages file that was copied by hands from the
PDF documentation. Therefore it contained (and probably still
contains) mistakes. Usually it is enough to correct the message there.
