Hi Jack,

Hi,

use SE63->other long texts->PDF to translate the form text - the data should be automatically converted.

or

If u r using SAP Script, Use the statement SET COUNTRY... in script, it automatically converts the text in the given country language and it can be used only in sapscript.

Greek language uses a different code page/character set. The printer has to point to an SAP device type that supports this character set, and has the code page set properly (in transaction SPAD). Talk to the BASIS people to see if they can set this up. Also, the physical printer has to support the font being used. If it does font substitution on the SAP side, you could end up with different characters on the actual output. You can check this in transaction SE73, selecting Printer Fonts, Display. Select the device type being used for the printer and then Font Conversion. You can compare the fonts being used in the SAPscript/SmartForms to the actual fonts being sent to the printer.

Hi Jack,

Do one thing you can change your form language in Greek and try. Might be it will work. Even your SO10 i mean to say that your standard text is in Greek language and forms are into other language so i think i would be problematic for SAP Script. So Change your form language Greek too.

Afterward still getting problem then let me know. I will try to solve your problem.
