Hi Arjun,

Chinese language is already installed in my sap.

The problem in my case is as follows:

When I run a report and take a print on a printer at chinese location .... The chinese characters are getting printed.

But when I view the output of the PDF (Adobe) the chinese characters are reflecting as blank characters.

My ABAP consultants says that the out application server doesn't have chinese fonts.

As such the following requirements needs to be met:

1. The form must have Chinese language key 'ZH' or the Chinese texts must be included as standard texts with the language key 'ZH'.

2. The correct Chinese fonts(e.g. CNHEI or CNSONG) must be used for the Chinese texts in the form.

3. The form must be processed with a device type that supports the simplified Chinese language.(eg:device type CNSAPWIN or CNPDF).

1& 3 are fine .... but how can I check on 2nd ... How to install those two fonts if required.
