Smartforms to PDF in Multilanguage

[Former Member]

Hi,

we need to convert smartforms to PDF in 13 languages. It works fine for all languages but PL and RU. I've already played around with different device types and code pages but I couldn't get it straight. I would really appreciate any idea!

At the moment I use printer PDFcreator and tried this with device type SAPWIN5. Is there any chance to convert a document to PDF just like the preview in the spool? It looks good there. Or is there a chance to use Windows directly to convert to PDF? Because if I copy all 13 texts into a Word-Document the printout looks great.

Every little hint is welcome!

Regards

Hi,

Use the program RSTXPDFT4 for converting spool to PDF. Just pass the spool number. Spool Output is OK right ?

I've already tried it and it didn't work.

Donot generate spool , generate otf instead by setting getotf as X in smartform control params.

now use convert_otf FM to convert into pdf

Amit,

thanks for your answer, I'll try it. But we would prefer to find a printer based solution instead of solving the problem with development. We have a unicode system and following SAP statements it should work - but I don't know how

Hi,

So you say the OTF data in the spool is fine , but during PDF convertion there is a problem. correct ?

Check these notes

Note 951210 - Unicode: Euro symbol in PDF with Latin-2/Cyrillic/Greek

Note 941495 - PDF converter: Font is not embedded for Latin-2

Yes, OTF data in the spool are fine, we have already the support packages of the 2 notes implemented so this is unfortunately not the solution.
