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

  • DME File returning junk characters when download to PC

    Hi Experts,
    I am facing problem while downloading the DME file. My file contains russian characters but downloaded file showing junk characters.
    I have already set codepage for russia in my profile as 1500. I have also installed russian language in my system. Also i am logged in SAP in RU language and set the codepage as CYRILIC(ISO) and language as russian.
    Please help me on this. I have also searched in forum but could not get proper answer.
    Regards,
    A. Trivedi

    Hi Ashish,
    please try setting codepage to 4120 (Unicode) in OBPM3.
    It worked out fine with a Kyrillic invoice reference I just tested in our dev system. Be sure to use a proper text editor for displaying the downloaded file, e.g. Notepad++

  • My english text keeps converting to Asian characters in any search box or URL!

    Every time I type something in any search engine text box, such as Yahoo, or any time I try to type a URL address, the characters will automatically convert to Asian characters as soon as I hit the space bar. This is really aggravating. I need to turn off all Asian characters and I don't know how it got turned on.

    Hello Ryan.
    I suggest you disable ALL plugins (not extensions, plugins), restart firefox, enable them again, and restart Firefox again. I hear some plugins (namely Real Player plugin or something like that) may cause this kind of problem.
    If that doesn't help, please say so and we'll look at it in detail.

  • Junk characters in fmt file after converting fmb to fmt

    Hi,
    I have a very big form (in forms 6i). I want to search for a specific table and that table has been used in many pl/sql scripts and triggers. I converted that fmb to fmt thru forms builder using Administration - convert.
    Now when I open that fmt in wordpad, I see all the scripts in junk characters.
    Any advise how I can get a good fmt file.
    Pls suggest soon.
    Thanks

    Hi ,
    What happens when you try to change the fonts in the wordpad...?????
    Try , as a second option , to convert your fmb file to .xml file using the frmf2xml [options] file1 [file2...] format....

    BharatYour problems are in the are called globalization ( was called NLS)
    This can cause many problems, and is it extremely common for systems/applications/databases not be set up properly.
    Your script in SQLDeveloper is probably being held in the UTF8 characterset .... though I emphasize probably, and your file is probably saved as such.
    The oracle database, in whatever characterset that is in, let us call it CHARSET-DB, has however probably determined your sqlplus client is running a different characterset CHARSET-CLI and will perform a conversion from CHARSET-CLI to CHARSET-DB.
    Obviously if the Oracle Database has been led to falsely identify CHARSET-CLI then unwanted conversions can take place, however usually most (all?) charactersets are the same for most/all of 7-bit ASCII characters, so it is only things outside this that get affected. e.g. £, é, ó and lots of others.
    From a linux viewpoint the locale command and "LC*" variables may exert influence. However from an Oracle Client perspective the NLS_LANG variable is more effective.
    I suspect setting your NLS_LANG to UTF8 (e.g. NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8 ) and locale to US.UTF-8 or similar is likely to solve your issue.
    See below for a good document from OTN and a more specialist forum for this problem ( though there are some you use this forum who may be able to help you as well)

  • Junk characters using form MR_PRINT

    Hi friends,
    My user generated Invoices using MRRL and generated output using MR90.
    Spool created for these invoices. But in the print, we are getting some lines with junk characters. It looks like chinese characters.
    1. If I see the Spool print preview, still I see the junk characters. That means there is no problem with printer. And it should be a problem either with Output triggering or MR_PRINT form.
    Another point is that, user facing this problem from yesterday only. Earlier to that everything was fine.
    1. Did anyone face this problem?
    2. How can I repeat output in MIR4 to test it again?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,

    Hello
    Regarding SAPLPD it will only be supported for frontend printing in Releases < 4.6C. For all other Releases, please note the
    following:
    For frontend printing, customers should use access method 'G' instead of access method 'F'. See note 821519 for
    more details.
    For server-based printing via access method 'S' or 'U', customers should use SAPSprint instead of SAPLPD. Note
    894444 has all the details. This is valid for ALL Releases.
    For non-latin characters and Unicode use the details as per note 812821.
    Best regards.

    Lesson learned: Always go and check SPAD (devices) if you face any printer issues. My issue was because the Basis has changed some settings in SPAD for LOCL device

  • Junk Characters are coming in the Print Preview of True Type Font

    Hi
    I am facing one issue. Here I have installed on one of the True type font of Gujarati (one of Regional language for India) language.When I see Print preview using LP01 Output device (which has SWIN Device Type) these true type font coming as Junk characters. But when I take print it is coming perfectly Ok. I want to know is there any setting required to maintain for Output device to see Print Preview in Gujarati also ?
    I feel that when System is generating output for Preview it is ignoring true type font..
    If there is any solution kindly let me know

  • Junk characters in ldt file

    Hi Experts,
    Am a newbie to oracle apps.
    Iam using 'messages' to store and display arabic characters in xml report and it is working fine . While migrating the report form one instance to another instance by downloading ldt file, the arabic characters are displaying as junk characters in the ldt file.
    Any pointers to resolve this issue will be helpful.
    Thanks,
    Santhosh

    I am using Windows 7 and used notepad to view the ldt file.
    The arabic characters are converted to some other format like junk.
    I tried uploading the ldt file in the same instance.
    After uploading the ldt file in the same instance,the the arabic characters are displaying as junk characters in front end while checking.
    Are the arab characters are converted to some other format in ldt file?
    i didnt tried uploading the ldt file in someother different instance to check for the correctness of arab characters in front end.Set NLS_LANG as suggested in my previous reply before you download the data and it should be in Arabic (assuming your database/application characterset support Arabic language and your client can read Arabic characters) -- FNDLOAD problem with Arabic font
    Thanks,

  • Junk characters in the purchase order fax received from the fax machine

    Dear Experts,
    I am facing the following issue.
    I am sending the PO form to a fax number from ME22N using the FAX medium. The PO form is designed by sapscript.
    I am getting the fax too from the fax machine. But it is not in the format designed by sapscript. I get junk characters printed line by line. For 1 page of PO form, I get around 7 pages printed with the junk characters.
    I checked the trace in SOST, it is taking the device type converts OTF to PDF.
    I checked the settings in the SCOT transaction. The device type is set as PDF1. I changed various device types but still the same.
    The printer I am using is Fuji Xerox - DocuCentre-III C4405
    Any idea how to get the form in the right format.

  • Junk characters displayed when viewing BEx query through WAD

    Hello,
    I am trying to display the results of a web report containing a BEx query through the "Execute in the Browser" option in WAD. But, junk Chinese characters keep showing up in the display. Also, if I try the same with one of the older web reports, they display fine. But, the moment I make a copy of these and execute without any modifications, the junk characters show up again.
    I tried executing through RSRT and there my report works perfectly. So, what could be going wrong or am I missing something?
    Thanks in advance!
    Menaz

    Thanks Emma.
    We figured it was related to the Unicode charset while I was going through the source code. I don't think there is any permanent fix yet. But, I followed the posting below and am trying to temporarily fix the error:

  • Unknown/Junk Characters in RFC call

    Hey All,
        I am having a strange issue in one of the RFC calls made from a Java System to our SAP system. We were getting random errors with this interface( the interface was working well before for a long time) . When I Captured the values sent during the RFC calls I found a lot of junk characters being sent by the other system. Is this the problem of the sending sytem or something in between?
    Has anyone experienced anything like this before.
    Any inputs on what could be the Issue.
    Thanks

    Ash,
    The Java Application is connected to the SAP System using Java Connector.
    aRs,
    The rfc is basically a wraper of standard Bapi "BAPI_REPMANCONF1_CREATE_MTS" for confirmations which has a IMSEG related structure with a lot of QUAN fields. What do you think is the issue with RFC calls and QUAN fields. Becausing changing all the QUAN's to Chars and converting it back to QUAN in the wrapper will be a decently big change.
    I was kindoff ruling out the unicode issue because this interface was working fine for more the 6 months, and we were unicode long time ago.
    One thing I suspect where the Issue could be is the SDK kit for the Java application. We recently Updated our Kernel Version and I think we should Upgrade the SDK';s too which was not done. What do you think??
    Thanks
