Hi Nilesh,

that's exactly my question, what do you mean "print OCR text"(or ORC text, you wrote both...)? You mean text that can be recognized by OCR program? Then all the texts in PDF can be recognized...

I don't understand your requirement at all.

Hi Tao,

Sorry for confusion , I have requirement to have combination of Customer no + Invoice no as text which will be OCR font format. When the invoice is printed this text should printer in OCR font .

I cannot see the OCR font available in listed fonts in adobe form layout.
how to go forward for this requirement.

Thanks,

Hi Nilesh,

try to use SAP font OCR-B. If it does not exist in your system, you should get a licenced OCR font (google: OCR font for SAP, likely with cost), and upload it into SAP using transaction SE73. Then you could have it in the listed fonts.

Hi Tao,

Thanks , I checked in SE73 and the OCR-B is available,  But how can I use it in Adobe form because In SFP layout , because it is not in the list of fonts.

Hi Nilesh,

try to check if you can choose OCR-B in Smartform Layout Designer.

If not, then the font might be corrupt and you must turn to Basis team.

If yes, then it is not a truetype font. And you muss upload a truetype font (.ttf, licenced font, might be with cost) into SAP by SE73. Something like this:
