Chinese Characters in PDF

Hi all,
I am sending some data by creating spool and then mailing it as a PDF attachment. However, when i get the PDF file through mail, I cannot see the Chinese characters. The document contains the information in English as well as Chinese. However only Chinese is not visible. The Font Familty CNSONG is present in SAP system. Let me know if any one has idea about this.
Thanks.
Warm regards,
Harshad. M

Chinese characters in PDF download of SAPscript

Hi Friends,
I'm facing an issue while downloading SAPscript output in PDF format. The chinese characters fetched from the SAP tables appear as '#' or some junk value whereas the values hardcoded in script with appropriate character formats appear absolutely fine in PDF. The values fetched from table appear fine when output is taken as normal SAPscript output.
Can someone help me out in this regard. Helpful answers will be rewarded points.
Thanks,
Jaison

CNSONG should work, I use that with Chinese PDFs.
You're using CNPDF so that isn't the problem.
You're Unicode which eliminates a host of other possibilities.
And the characters print fine with non-PDF SAPScripts...
I'm running out of ideas. It sounds like you've done everything you need to.
What method are you using to convert this SAPScript to PDF form? CNPDF Printer, a Function Module, something else? If a FM, which one are you using?
Could it be your Adobe Reader? Does it have the chinese language fonts loaded?

Arabic and Chinese characters are showing ??? in PDF

Hi
I hava an application which calls BI publisher API to generate PDF file from rtf temlate and xml input. It is fine for English contents. But the Arabic or Chinese characters are showing ??? in PDF. If I use BI publisher Desktop to load the xml and generate pdf file, it shows correct Arabic/Chinese Characters in PDF. I also copied ALBANWTJ.ttf file to my application JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/fonts/ folder. But it still doesn't work. Anyone can help me with this?
Thanks a lot!

I created xdo.cfg and put it in my JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ folder. the file is configured as below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config version="1.0.0" xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/config/">
<properties>
<property name="system-temp-dir">/tmp</property>
</properties>
<fonts>
<font family="Default" style="normal" weight="normal">
<truetype path="/fonts/ALBANWTJ.ttf"/>
</font>
</fonts>
</config>
But now I'm getting this error while generating pdf file:
Adobe Reader could not open 'xxx.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
Is there anything wrong in my xdo.cfg?
Thanks!

Chinese Characters in Spool converted to Junk characters in PDF

Hi,
I have spool generated from Script , the Spool shows me Chinese Characters.When I am trying to convert the Spool to PDF using Program RSTXPDFT4 , the PDF contains Junk Characters instead of Chinese Characters.Please let me know how to get the correct Chinese Characters in PDF.
Regards,
Swathi

Hi,
For the spool you try to convert to PDF, which device type was this spool created by. It must be created via a Chinese device type like e.g. CNSAPWIN. The form used to create the spool must have language key ZH. The fonts used in the form for the Chinese characters must be a Chinese font like CNSONG or CNHEI.
Alternatively, if you create the spool via Unicode deviec type SWINCF, then the font and the form language are not important. It should work to convert the spool to PDF regardless of the language ley or font used in the form.

Aidan

How to generate reports 10g in chinese characters pdf/html (10g)

Hi,
we have installed Oracle AS 10g (9.0.4.1) on an windows 2000 server.
The nls_lang=American_america.UTF8
the database server 10g with characterset utf8
The chinese font used is the simsun (simsun.ttf) semplified chinese.
We have no problem with the forms and the database (we have prompt in chinese and we store data in chinese and we view the forms with the jnitiator.
Our problem are the reports: we can't view chinese characters in pdf reports or html
We have readen a lot of topics (very confused..) and we have tryed a lot of solutions but without success.
In particolar, the last:
in the uifont.ali under the pdf subset section we have mapped the simsun font with the file arialuni.ttf
simsun="arialuni.ttf"
We have installed the arial unicode ms (arialuni.ttf) on the server and also on the client.
we have put the file arialuni.ttf also in a directory of the report path.
But it doesn't work.
What can we do ?
Regards

I agree with Phillip. Looks li ke you've got everything else setup properly, but you should use a Unicode font in your report instead of simsun. If you really want to use Simsun, then change your report server NLS parameter to use something like NLS_LANG=SIMPLIFIED CHINESE_CHINA.ZHS16GBK or even NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.ZHS16GBK, and remove the reference to arialuni.ttf. By making your report server use UTF8, it requires that you use a Unicode font. If you change your NLS to a Chinese character set, sqlnet will do the conversion for you automatically and transparently, and you can use simsun
The subset feature is what allows you to see the PDF properly on machines that don't already have the font installed. If your target users are internal and you can control them, or external and all likely to have the font already, you don't need the subsetting at all.

Chinese Charcters in PDF using Apache FOP

Hi,
I am creating a PDF using Apache FOP.
This data contains Chinese characters.
On APEX 3.1, I couldn't contain Chinese characters in PDF.
On APEX 3.2, is it possible?
Is there any way that I don't have to use BI Publisher?
Please advise on this.
Thanks

Hi, Karthik
Think here how to save pdf in APEX 3.0 you can find more information about this

Can't cut and paste chinese characters

I've always been able to copy chinese characters from pdfs and other documents and paste them into word or powerpoint or wenlin etc. Suddenly the characters do not copy and paste. I get little boxes or other dingbats. I tried changing the font etc. but nothing works. Is this due to an update on the OS? How do I solve it?
Thanks
Sharon

PDF format is very different from most other docs, in that you cannot rely on copy/paste for non-Latin scripts. Try Adobe Reader instead of Preview (or Vice Versa) or try different pdfs. Send me an example of one that does not work if you like (tom at bluesky dot org).
What other format doc is not working for chinese copy/paste for you?

Chinese characters copying incorrectly when saving pdfs with Preview

So this is a very strange problem. When I save a .pdf that I have annotated in Preview, it saves fine and everything continues to display correctly. However, if I then try to copy Chinese characters from the pdf, it pastes gibberish. F'rex:
灿烂辉煌 becomes "3456"
and
遇到的问题 becomes " !"
Does anyone know what is going on and how to deal with it?

The strange part is that initially the Chinese characters copy fine. It's only after I save the .pdf that copying goes all wonky.
I think there is a bug related to annotation.
Is there any way to control what encoding Preview uses when saving?
No. PDF is the worst possible format to use for any kind of editing.
Have you tried Adobe Reader? Or Skim?

Preview is not always the best option.

PDF from Word 2007 ends up with scrambled Chinese characters

I have a problem with PDF files when converted from a Word 2007 document that includes Traditional Chinese characters and I hope someone might be able to help or point me in the right direction. After converting it to PDF via "Create PDF" from the Acrobat toolbar, the Chinese characters are all wrong. It looks like Chinese but none of the characters actually exist, it's all scrambled and useless. Converting English or German text works fine, so far, it's only the Traditional Chinese text that causes problems.
The strange thing is that prior to installing Office 2007, all worked just fine. I could convert Chinese text from Word 2003 without any problems and other than updating to Word 2007, nothing has changed. Any idea where to start trouble shooting and how to fix it? I've already tried re-installing and reparing both Word and Acrobat but no improvement.
OS: WinXP Professional SP3 (English system)
Adobe: Master Collection CS4 (English)
Acrobat: Acrobat 9 Pro v9.1.3 (English)
PDF Maker: Conversion Settings are set to default "Smallest File Size Web"
Word: Microsoft Office Word 2007 (12.0.6504.5000) SP2 MSO (12.0.6425.1000)
Note: Using "Save As" and select "PDF or XPS" in Word 2007 works fine, the Chinese characters show up properly in the PDF file but I prefer using the PDF Maker from Acrobat to create my PDF files.

I have found that WORD 2007, particularly with docx files, does some strange things to PDF files that you produce. It seems to break a perfectly good graphic into parts and send the parts to the PDF (not usually a problem unless you zoom in). We have tested with AA8 and AA7 with WORD 2007 and gotten these results. WORD 2003 worked like expected. It is almost as though MS decided to put some hooks in OFFICE 2007 for Acrobat. Normally with Acrobat, the graphics come out as a single graphic as stored in the application.
Glad you got the character issue to work. I use a job.settings file that is distributed by a publisher to get an "optimized" form of product for posting. Of course, optimized is always in the eye of the beholder, but I have been happy with it.

Exporting InDesign files to PDF containing Chinese characters

When I export a file from Adobe InDesign to PDF that contains Chinese characters, some of the Chineset text in the resultant PDF appears heavy and blotchy, like it has had a very heavy stroke applied to it, even though the text is perfectly OK in the source InDesign file and when printed out from the PDF.
As a lot of Chinese reader will view and read this document online, I need to find a solution, can anyone help me?

Below is a screenshot of one of the effected pages
As you can see, some of the Chinese characters appear all heavy and blotch, whilst others are OK.
There is no leading on any of the text and it is perfectly OK when viewed in the Adobe InDesign file.

Chinese Characters not display when PDF for marketing doc

Hi All,
I have typed in some Chinese Characters into a Print Layout Document.
I am able to print these documents with the Chinese characters. But I am not able to display these Chinese Characters when I click on PDF.
Please advise.
Rdgs

Hi Gordon,
I have applied the various asian language service pack for the Adobe Reader.
However, i am still not able to see the Chinese Characters in the PDF document when click on the PDF at SAP B1's Toolbar.
Step 1 : Update a PLD with Chinese Characters (as text or from database field). Eg. AR Invoice.
Step 2 : Set the PLD as Default Layout.
Step 3 : At AR Invoice, call out an existing Invoice, click on Preview. Chinese Character is able to be previewed and printed.
Convert to PLD.
Step 4 : At AR Invoice, call out an existing Invoice, click on PDF button at the Toolbar. Preview the PDF document. No Chinese Characters are displayed.
Is it due to Localisation? Localisation = Singapore
Please advise.
Regards
Jessie

Generate pdf in chinese characters

We are required to export the content in Chinese and other languages.
Although the export in English works fine not Chinese. All Chinese characters are replaced by "?".
Has anybody faced this issue earlier?

I agree with Phillip. Looks li ke you've got everything else setup properly, but you should use a Unicode font in your report instead of simsun. If you really want to use Simsun, then change your report server NLS parameter to use something like NLS_LANG=SIMPLIFIED CHINESE_CHINA.ZHS16GBK or even NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.ZHS16GBK, and remove the reference to arialuni.ttf.
