Hi,

Have seen these things in debugging mode?

If 'YES' when it converts OTF to PDF it will show like that only.

IF 'NO' may be probelm at this area...

• Transfer the 132-long strings to 255-long strings

LOOP AT it_pdf_output.

TRANSLATE it_pdf_output USING ' ~'.

CONCATENATE gd_buffer it_pdf_output INTO gd_buffer.

ENDLOOP.

TRANSLATE gd_buffer USING '~ '.

DO.

it_mess_att = gd_buffer.

APPEND it_mess_att.

SHIFT gd_buffer LEFT BY 255 PLACES.

IF gd_buffer IS INITIAL.

EXIT.

ENDIF.

ENDDO.

Hi,

The output device is not supporting some of the characters. The best way would be to change the output device and test or get in touch with basis regarding the same.
