SmartForms Printing Error for Japanese Characters

Hi,
I have an issue with Printing Japanese Characters in the SmartForm.
When I Print Preview the smartform I can see the characters in Japanese but when I Print the actual smartform in the printer, all I get is some junk characters like # and !.
I have the following setting in the smartform.
   Multi-Byte functionality enabled
   Character set used is Shift JIS
   Smartform created in language EN
   Translate to All Languages set to true
   No restriction on Language Control
   Smartstyles used has JPMINCHO fonts only
   Default Para is JPMINCHO
   Characters formatting has explicit JPMINCHO as font
   Login language is JA
   Printer is Local Printer with device type JPSAPWIN
When I debug the Smartform function module, the OTF Data Table (within the function) shows characters in Japanese (with codepage 8000) but then I look at the actual spool as a result of processing the function, it comes up as garbled.
Interestingly, I have exactly the same settings on another test smartform to print just 2 columns and it works well.
Not sure where I am going wrong.
Appreciate help on this issue.
Many Thanks

hi,
has anyone solved this problem? even i m facing the problem. me restating the problem as below:
in VF02 transaction, for billing document we are trying to print smartform. Our logon languagae is EN and the Output Type langugae is EN. In spool, we are getting the CORRECT format ie the texts that are maintained in Japanese are showing as Japanese characters while the whole smartform is in English format.
Our requirement is to PRINT (from printer) the texts that are maintained in Japanese should get printed in Japanese format. I know that this is problem with printer settings. The printer is printing perfectly fine as other documents in Japanese characters so its ensured that printer is enabled for Japanese.
I suppose some kind of setting needs to be done at SAP end so that printer recognises double-byte character set of Japanese.
Waiting for confirmation/ solution.
Thanks

Converting garbled characters for JAPANESE characters in a custom table

Hi all,
I have a custom table that store Japanese characters.
After my company has upgraded to ECC6.0, this data in the custom table has become garbled and its alot of it garbled.
Is there any SAP tool that can I use to make the correction on those garbled Japanese characters?
Thanks,
William Wilstroth

Hi Nils,
I really really really had a field day reading and testing around UC... To my dissappointment, I do not have the authorization to use SUMG and SCP too as well as a few of the TCODES...
I finally told my higher level technical mgnt. that this table might need some changes...
Has this problem of mine got anything to do with MDMP since its no longer supported in ECC6 and I found one coding that search for MDMP in RSVTPROT...
My colleagues suggest that the data be corrected from table DBTABLOG... which i find, in my opinion, is not the right way...
Thanks,
William

Smartform Printing : Error in spool C call: Error from TemSe

Hi! everybody,
I am stating my problem as follows : I have to print a bar-code sticker of size 10 X 7 cms. I have worked on bar-codes before this also. This time the output from a smartform is to be given to a ZEBRA TLP 2844 printer. I initially encountered problems in printing. The data does not fit on to the page.
After a lot of searching I found that ZEBRA was a partner of SAP and that a special device type needs to be created for output from a ZEBRA printer. I did this two times. Each time my steps were as described under.
To create the device type I did the following :
1. I finally found the driver from the ZEBRA website from http://www.zebra.com/id/products/global/en/utilities/sap_device_types.UtilityFile.File.tmp/Zebra_SAP_Device_Types.zip From this I uploaded the driver for 203 DPI zebra printer with IBM code 850 font file name "YZB200.PRI" into the transaction SA38.
2. Then I created a new device ZEB10 in SPAD after assigning my format to the device.
Thereafter, I tried to print my sticker. During this procedure, on selection of the new device type, the fonts automatically changed to ARIAL in the print preview. When I give the print command (Spool request : Print immed = X, Delete after output = X & New spool request = X) it gives an error message Error in spool C call: Error from TemSe.
Since the output had not been issued, I opened the spool request to view its TemSe characteristics. Here I found

On the SDN, I have not found a similar thread and that is why I decided to post this problem here, hoping to find a solution. Kindly help.

System Response

%LTYPE1 contains only one cell consisting Material Description & Code .Apart from that nothin is there in line.
Please help.
Regards,

Hi,
check what is going else for JEX billingtype documents.
if that does not work out you can try to locate where it is going wrong.
how you do that: Disable a part of your form with conditions.
then if you have done it so far you didn't get that error meesage. Then shrink the part you have disabled until it goed worng again. Then it is going wrong in the last part you have enabled. It is a lot of work but debugging in smartform is not as easy as in sapscript.
success., Gr., Frank

Hi Rejish,
we have the same problem here with SAP 730. Printing a smartform we get the "OTF module: Page buffer (80*1000 entries) is too small" error.
In ST03N I can see an "oversized" raw which refers to my print test.
This is the Task/Memory view:
I read about the note 1331658 but I think that in SAP 730 they have already fixed it..it's ad old note from 2009.
Thanks in advance

Hi Donna,
the plug-in you are referring to is, as you correctly state, an Adobe plug-in for Adobe's LiveCycle product family.
The ISR integration of Interactive Forms in SAP is based on Adobe components in Interactive Forms (Designer and ADS) that are 'related' to LiveCycle, but in essence a separate development for SAP. In addition, the ISR integration was built on top of the originally implemented integration on both the ABAP and Java side.
Within NetWeaver, there is no support for using Adobe plug-ins for forms development in .NET. This would be something that Adobe might be able to assist you with, but I assume that this would be a professional service by Adobe.
Kind regards,

Smartform Printing Problem for double sided printing

Hi Techies,
I have created a smartform for invoice printing, using double side printing.
The requirement is that in the front page, page number has to be printed and at the back side static text is to be printed. So if my line items exceed to two pages. Than in printing, it is getting priinted as "Page 1 of 4" for the 1st invoice items page and "Page 3 of 4" for the second items page. But the client is asking it to be printed as "Page 1 of 2" & "Page 2 of 2" respectively.
Currently I am using Page&SFSY-PAGE& of &SFSY-FORMPAGES&.
Can anyone guide me how to achieve this requirement.
Thanks & Regards,
Vinit.

Hi vinit,
better u declare your own variable . and check with sfsy , the footer window must be final window
data : lv_page type sfsy-page,
lv_tot_page type sfsy-page.
if sfsy-formpages > 2.
lv_tot_page = sfsy-page / 2.
if sfsy-page >2
lv_page = sfsy-page - 1.
else.
lv_page = sfsy-page.
endif.
else .
lv_page = sfsy-page.
lv_tot_page = sfsy-formpages.
endif

Printing Error: A few characters + MANY blank pages

Windows 7 Professional
Thunderbird: 24.3.0
Every time I print from Thunderbird only a few characters print out, then MANY blank pages.
Print preview appears fine on screen.
Printing to PDF Creator from Thunderbird IS FINE.
Printing is PERFECT from all other applications.
Reset 'print_printer' to default in Config Editor. -> no joy
Many Thanks!

Hi Matt ~
Replacing the printer driver (HP Laserjet 4 Plus) DOES correct the problem when printing email messages with Thunderbird 31.1.0. However, the next time I print a message - in a separate session - sometimes days apart, the problem reoccurs and I need to replace the driver - again.
As originally stated, all files related to other applications print just fine, without replacing the printer driver.
Any idea why the reoccurring, discordant relationship between Thunderbird and the printer driver???
Many Thanks, Jacob

Printing Japanese Characters on Zebra ZM400 from Smartform

Hi Experts
I am trying to configure a Zebra ZM400 printer to print a Japanese label from a smartform but get no Japanese characters on the output.
The original language of the smartform is English, but I have maintained a translation in SE63 which uses the Andale_J font.
The printer ZM400 has the ANDMJ.TTF font installed and the printer has been set up in SPAD to use the LZEBU2 device type (which is the Zebra Printer Driver for 200dpi) and the Berkeley protocol (U).
When looking at the printer spool in graphical format I am getting the appropriate Japanese characters displayed, when looking in RAW format it appears to be using the correct font, FCANDALE_J, although the characters are represented as #'s. On the printer output, I get numbers or English where no translation has been maintained, but nothing where the Japanese characters should be.
Has anyone come across this problem before, or have any idea how to solve this issue?
Thanks very much
Andrew Beavan

Hi Aidan
Thanks for your swift response, as you may have guessed this is all very new to me and so I am struggling to make much progress.
I have uploaded the andale_j font to the printer which creates a file called anmdj.TTF. I have also uploaded a JIS.DAT file which should convert any TTF to unicode and a printer configuration file which should effectively set this font as the default.
I have tried to upload a TTF font in SAP using se73 and created a device type to go with this, however whenever I set the device type for the printer to this I get no print spool request generated. Based on your reply, I have created a style using the TTF font I uploaded, but again when I reference this in a smartform I get no errors displayed, but I also don't get a print spool request generated so I'm not convinced that the font has been loaded correctly into SAP.
I have just wiped the flash memory on the printer and am re-loading the font using a slightly different setting on the printer, so will try that, but welcome any further suggestions or clarifications if I have mis-understood your previous reply.
Many thanks for your help.
Andrew Beavan

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.

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.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

 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];

Printing Japanese characters in English form

Hi all,

Hi,
Is your text coming from an internal table or it is a standard text that you want to print in adobe form?
If it is standard text or long text,Creating a Text node by right clicking on the top node and then
CREATE -> TEXT.
In the properties of the TEXT node select Text type Include Text and then provide the Text Name, Text Object, Text ID and Text Language values as shown below.
Drag the structure from the interface into the Context.
We can pass the Text node properties values dynamically as well.
If our application makes no use of the Business Address Services but you still want to have country-specific addresses, we must use ABAP coding to achieve this. It is possible to do this in the application program or in the initialization coding of the interface.
