Hi,

the PDF-Creator runs on the server, so TrueType fonts needs to be there.

You have to upload the TTF with the arabic letters / unicode area to the sapserver (SE78). Please note, that sometimes you need to buy a license for that.

It has nothing to do with Frontend printing.

Use an output device with a device type with unicode area mapping for pdf (like I2PDF for unicode area 2 or so...).

Hello

It might also be helpful to check the pdf uncode note 999712.

The guide 'How to install TrueType Fonts for UC PDF conversion.doc' which is contained in the attachments of Note #999712 describes which fonts are suitable for which languages.

Hi,

You can check that font is installed or not on local machine. Install the font on local machine and try it.

Hi,

1) Does it happen in print preview?If yes, then check for device type. It should be ARSWIN device type.

2) keep the original language as english.

39 When you create your driver program for your smartform, pass the Control_Parameter-Langu = Arabic. This will call your english smartform in the arbic language and hence it will all come in RTL style.This control parameter is present in the interface of your smartform.

This can be done as follows. In your driver program declare

data: L_CTRL_PAR TYPE SSFCTRLOP.

L_CTRL_PAR-LANGU = 'A'.

While calling your form pass this variable.

CALL FUNCTION FORMNAME

EXPORTING

CONTROL_PARAMETERS = L_CTRL_PAR
