Thai PDF conversion (RSTXPDF2)

[Former Member]

Dear experts

Thai words was included in our SAPscript/Smartforms, and we must convert them into PDF.

we found an OSS note 339832, it told us that we must upload Thai TTF font(Angsana New)to sap system via program RSTXPDF2, and use font THANGSAN for Thai words in SAPscript/Smartforms.

but we have a question on that:

when execute program RSTXPDF2, which font family should we use?

should we upload the TTF font to the exsiting sap font "THANGSAN", or create a new Z font, then upload TTF font to the Z font?

if anybody know how to convert Thai text into PDF, please kindly tell me detail steps.

Hi,

After installing the fonts pass the language option in control parameters so that it will take the thai language during conversion.

Thanks

Hi,

I have the same question (only I need Lithuanian symbols). I try to load in both cases: into standard font family and into Z_ family. But symbols are not showed anyway. Are you resolve this issue?

Hi,

You should first create font family ZCOUR_I4 in SE73 font families.

You should then upload e.g. windows true type font C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\COUR.TTF under font name ZCOUR_I4 via RSTXPDF2. Then if you use font COURIER in the sapscript form, this uploaded font will be used for any Lithuanian characters in the PDF.

You must also ensure the the language of the form is LT and the device type used to create the PDF is a Baltic device type like e.g. I4SWIN.

See also SAP note 786734.
