Chinese/Japanese characters not appearing on smartforms PDF output

Hi,
The print preview of the Smartforms output layout is correctly displaying the characters of native/local languages like Chinese, Japanses etc.....but when i try to print this output, it is printing the junk characters.
Whereas the same printer is able to print the Chinese, Japanese characters when printed from MS Word.
So this issue is occurring only when printing from SAP.
In spool i could see the Chinese/Japanese characters appearing correctly, whereas when i try to convert it to PDF using program RSTXPDFT4, the PDF is again showing junk characters replacing the chinese characters.
Thanks!

This could be of different reeasons...
1) Make sure your printer is uni-code enabled.
2) Make sure, your unicode enabled printer is configured in SAP.
3) make sure, your printer device is supported by SAP. (You can find list of SAP recommended printers in www.service.sap.com)
4) Check whether the correct device type is used for printing chinese and japanese characters.
5) Check code pages.
6) Make sure you use Cyrillic font family, for printing chinese and Japanese characters.

Some of Chinese character is not displaying correctly in PDF output

Hi all
I'm involved in the 1st Peoplesoft project in Korea and having a difficulty with displaying Chinese character in PDF output.
Usually Koreans can translate their name in Chinese and that Chinese name is displayed in personal information in their company as well as Korean name.
With Oracle BI Publisher I made rtf template that includes employees' Chinese name and tried to export to PDF output.
Most of Chinese character was fine but '李' character that was ok in HTM output was crashed in PDF output.
So I researched and tested some solutions.
Here's what I did.
I downloaded and installed five fonts(ALBANWTS.ttf, ALBANWTT.ttf, ALBANWT.ttf, ALBANWTK.ttf, ALBANWTJ.ttf) in client machine(c:\windows\fonts\) and did mapping job with xdo.cfg configuration file.
After that I previewed PDF output in the rtf template and checked embeded fonts in the PDF file.
I can see the newly installed font was embeded but still '李' character is crashed.
My problem is little bit different from others becuase only one Chinese character is crashed by for now.
The Chinese character '李' is very common last name in Korea and I believe Simplified Chinese character font have in it.
Please let me know if you have any solutions or experiance.
Thanks and best regards

Since upgrading to 10.8.5 some of the tracks in my library are listed in chinese/japanese characters..not English!

Since upgrading my macbook air (10.8.5) and ios7 a large number of tracks in my library are listed in chinese/japanese characters..not English! of the 670 tracks or so around 30% are now in another character set (far eastern), not English as they were. Same on my new iphone 5s.

Strangely enough the pref file did not show up in the Preferences folder. I don't know what this means but it could be signifigant.

How Oracle tables can be used to display Chinese/Japanese characters

If anyone knows how to display Chinese/Japanese characters from Oracle tables please reply this email. Thanks.

hi
->Also please let me know how the Oracle Lite is licenced if I have 300 odd users of this offline applications
you should speak to your local oracle rep about that, for us for example they gave a pretty cheap packet for olite 10gr3+ 11g repository
->need to use only database part of Oracle Lite and not mobile server.
you cant do that. mobile server is the application server that handles the synchronization process from the server side. when a client tries to sync he actually connects to the mobile server and asks for the database changes , the mobile server know what the client must get so he packs it and give it to him
->you can ofc make lightweight .net apps using olite. we make olite apps even for wince handhelds. so yes ofcourse you can. olite had a win32 client also.
->can it run from usb.
ok here to be honest ive never tried that myself, looks kinda weird as a requirement to be honest but i dont see why it shouldnt run. if you set up the paths correctly you shouldnt have a problem i think.
->offline application will have more or less similar data entry forms and storage structure
yes ofcourse , if i have 3 tables in server i can choose to have 2(or all ) of them on the client too. i can even separate which client gets what. for instance if client a sells houses in new york he will get only the house table rows for new york. if another sells for chicago he will get those instead and etc.
->all client apps are offline and sync periodically (when you choose) to the server

Scroll bar does not appear in some PDF files. How can I enable it?

Scroll bar does not appear in some PDF files. How can I enable it?

Scroll bars are supposed to appear when needed.
For example, scroll bars will appear when you zoom in on a page.
FAQ: How to zoom in/out on a page
Windows 8 automatically hides scroll bars after a few seconds of inactivity. Scroll bars will reappear when you touch the screen and move your finger (on a Touch-enabled device) or move your mouse.
Additionally, page navigation depends on the view mode (Single Page vs. Continuous Page).
In the Single Page mode, you can swipe left/right (horizontally) or click the left/right arrow button with your mouse to go to the previous/next page.
In the Continuous Page mode, you can swipe or scroll up/down (vertically) to go to the previous/next page.

Pictures not appearing on exported pdfs.

Hi,I am exporting reports in pdf format. I have a picture on the report in the report group header. I used the graphics picture to put the picture on the report. When the script runs and exports the report to pdf files, the picture is not appearing on the pdf files. Do anyone have any ideas?Thanks

HI Beat!
There's an excellent post on Adobe's site that walks through the differences. It's at http://www.adobe.com/type/topics/info9.html
However, I believe the caveat about Open Type fonts refers to their extended character set capabilities. You can still see issues with any font that is probably tied to the design and metrics of that particular font. The best course of action is to see if a font will perform under the watermark feature. If so then you're all set. If not—try a different font.
All your fonts will appear in the dropdown menu. Adobe is most likely just calling on the OS to serve up its list of installed fonts. That shouldn't be relied upon as an endorsement that all of them will function properly in watermark. This is really more of a font issue than an Adobe issue. I have many fonts that just don't respond well in certain programs. And it varies by font and by program so its hard to blame the app more than the font.

Bringing Chinese/Japanese characters as JLabel Text

Hi,
In our application we are planning to implement multiple languages as labels.
We succeded to implement French,German etc because the characters are present on keyboard and the editors support the text.
Now we are planning to implement Chinese/Japanese. At this moment we dont know whether we can type Chinese/Japanese text through key board and whether our editor support those characters.
Can anybody please tell me the procedure to bring Chinese/Japanese Characters as JLabel Text in Swing Application?
Thanks in advance,
Vattikuti

What you wanted to do depends to a large extent on the OS... On Windows XP, install the appropriate language packs (there are several for Chinese and at least two for Japanese languages) and check it out.

When type Japanese characters they appear not at cursor place. How to solve?

Hi,
There is some troubles at Japanese text input. When start to type Japanese (or Chinese) characters they appear not at cursor place, it's very inconvenient for using. How could it be solved?
Some screenshots done in demo TLF site http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/textlayout/demos/
Regards,
Ann

It would be strange if this would be the desired behavior. The problem is - the position of the "input box" on the screen is changing and is not even predictable.
I am using Windows XP.
Here it is in one position
Here I clicked on the Font drop-down - so now I have the position there, and whatever I do, it stays there.
Unless I click on Data sourse drop-down - then I have it there
This input box does not return to the editor, although after hitting Enter I do get the characters at the place of the cursor.
But it makes it basically unusable for japanese and some other languages - if there are any other controls in the application, the input box moves to them if I click there, and does not return. Besides, in many cases it overlaps already inputted text, which is very inconvenient for the user.
Where is this input box supposed to be by design, I wonder? And how do I keep it there?
Another question - is the support for inline input planned and if so, when?

Java PrintService printing Chinese/Japanese characters output is garbled.

Hi Java Gurus,
I have been spending the whole day trying to make our text printing application able to print non-western Characters (e.g. Chinese and Japanese) as part of our requirements. But I am constantly getting garbled output when I print a UTF-8 formatted text file containing Chinese characters. I've been trying to switch the DocFlavor types (e.g. byte array in UTF 8, input stream auto sense, UT8-8, etc) but I couldn't simply make it work.
Here is our test method:
     public void testPrintText(String fileName) throws Exception {
          FileInputStream textStream = new FileInputStream(fileName);
          File file = new File(fileName);
          String fileContent = FileUtils.readFileToString(file);
          DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.BYTE_ARRAY.TEXT_PLAIN_UTF_8;
          //DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.READER.TEXT_PLAIN;
          InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(textStream, "utf-8");
          DocAttributeSet das = new HashDocAttributeSet();
          //System.out.println("host encoding: " + flavor.hostEncoding);
          Doc mydoc = new SimpleDoc(fileContent.getBytes("utf-8"), flavor, das);
          //Doc mydoc = new SimpleDoc(textStream, flavor, das);
          PrintRequestAttributeSet pas = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
          pas.add(new PrinterName("\\\\fsinec\\Canon iR5055 PCL6", null));
          PrintService[] services = PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(flavor, pas);
          PrintService defaultService = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
          System.out.println("DEBUG: " + defaultService.getClass().getName());
          if(services.length == 0) {
               if(defaultService == null) {
                    //no printer found
               } else {
                    //print using default
                    DocPrintJob job = defaultService.createPrintJob();
                    job.print(mydoc, pas);
          } else {
               //built in UI for printing you may not use this
               PrintRequestAttributeSet attSet = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
               for(int ctr=0; ctr<services.length; ctr++) {
                    PrintService printService = services[ctr];
                    System.out.println("COTS DEBUG: " + defaultService.getClass().getName());
               //attSet.add();
               PrintService service = null;
               if(services.length == 1) {
                    //assume that there is no other printer with the name \\\\fsinec\\Canon iR5055 PCL6
                    //resulting to fetch the printer services to only one (1) element.
                    service = services[0];
               /* open a dialog box

Text from text module is not appearing in smartform output

Hi Experts,
We are using text modules in one of our smartform to print the sender text . The name of this text module is being dynamically determined during the execution and is coming correctly but still the the text inside the text module is not appearing in the output. We checked one more similar form which is working on the similar logic but calling a different text module , there it is working perfectly. I have tried all the possibilties like changing the window size, changing the fonts and other parameters of the text module but still its not appearing . This seems to be something unusual as in both the smartforms(one with text appearing from module and one without the text) the logic is exactly similar for getting the text module name. The name is getting determined in both the cases correctly and the text modules are also maintained in same manner for both these forms but text is appearing on one and not on other.
Kindly help if any one of you have also faced similar issue.
Regards

Hi Priyank,
There could be various reasons....
Wrong language for example
An easy way to prove this is, put the text direct into the smartforms and see, if it pops up immediately.
If so, you have to really debug this spot and see if the pased name is correct. (Copy paste it in the debugger, to be really sure, there could be a space in fornt or in the end...)
If that doesn't help, you have to share more details. Your question is not that very specific. You know

MacOSX (10.9): Print dialogue box does not appear when printing PDF's

Hi there,
I've been having some troubles with the latest version of Adobe Reader on an intel-based MacBook Pro running MacOSX 10.9 (Mavericks).
Environment Details:
Device type: MacBook Pro
OSX: 10.9 (Mavericks)
Adobe Reader version: 11.0.06
Details:
After installing Reader 11.0.06, the print dialogue box does not appear through the print button or through File -> Print... . As a result, I simply cannot print PDF documents when using Adobe Reader.
- Only 1 MacBook Pro affected
- The print dialogue box does appear for other application (i.e. Preview, Word, Excel, etc., etc.)
- Multiple restarts performed
- Attempted to download older versions with no success
- Attempted multiple uninstall/reinstalls
- Reset the CUPS printing system multiple times
- Validated that the account accessing/using Reader has full administrative privileges to the Adobe Reader application
- Occurs for multiple PDF's from various sources
-> Online source
-> Converted from Word
Additionally (I'm unsure if this is related or not), but after trying to perform an update, I receive the following error:
An unimplemented or obsolete function was called
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!

Hi there,
Just bumping this thread for more visibility.
If anyone has any thoughts, I'd more than appreciate your advice!

Images not appearing in exported PDF

I've created a document in InDesign CS5. When i export for PDF some images don't appear in the PDF. The images are either imported JPGs or shapes created in InDesign. Most of the images appear just some don't. I'm not aware of doing anything different in creating/importing these images.
Has anyone experienced this problem? Can anyone help me out?

That didn't work, but i copied images from other parts of my document that did work and pasted/resized to replace images that didn't import and that seemed to work.
still wish i could figure out why it happens in the first place so i don't have to do this other process.

Images not appearing/printing in PDF properly

I'm working in CS4. I never had this issue in the past, but now when I save files as PDFX1a some of my images do not appear when printing. I can see them in the PDF, but they print as a white silhouette. I did embed the images.

Where is it you want the navigation to appear?
Try this CSS -
#mainnav {
clear: both;
display: block;
float:right;
margin-right:50px;
margin-top:25px;
overflow:hidden;
padding:0;
width:350px;
Is that anywhere close?

Edited text not appearing in emailed .pdf documents

I use the typewriter tool to add text to an already existing .pdf document. When I save the document to a folder and reopen it, the text is visible. When I attach this document to email using Entourage, the text I edited is not visible. What am I doing wrong?

If you go into the pdf with acrobat professional (not available w/ reader) and open the forms editing menu and double click on the field that is not appearing you can check the settings (I think it is in general settings tab). One of the setting is to make the info typed into the field visible or not visible. It could be set to not visible.
