Spending a lots of hour while (open xml in OpenOffice find the reason like Name :Arun but when check in OpenOffice it's look like Aru#n content some junk character) finally get solution first read all xml content using BufferedReader and do this :-

String lineReader =" ";
while((lineReader = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null){
  lineReader = lineReader.replaceAll("[^\\x20-\\x7e]", "");
  buffer.append(l);
  }

Now create a temporary xml file and write buffer all content. Then read temp.xml now everything goes very well.Check it here valid or invalid character in xml

Hope this will help you :)
