Issue Regarding Chinese characters In Smart Form Print preview..

Hi All,
I am working on a smart form development for chinese users. The requirement is the user will login using English & when the delivery will be issued for output, a check will be done on the country of user. If that comes as china then the international version (C) maintained for that customer will come as output.
Now the problem is even if I login using EN or ZH the below issue I am facing always.
In the database I can view the details in chinese properly by logging in as ZH. During debugging also i checked the data from table ADRC & MAKT is coming in chinese properly. But when i gave the values to be output in SmartForm, it is showing the characters like how it will look if I login using EN & view the table contents.
When i view the data by changing character set as Simplified Chinese then in table i can see chinese texts properly. But when the same data goes to print preview it shows the chinese characters like as it would appear when character set is Unicode or West European..
Please help..
Thanks in advance.

Dear,
print preview and physical printout are two different things.
PrintPreview:
The data stream will be sent to the frontend and rendered with windows-fonts etc (for backend prints a simulation).
Printout:
Frontend: You need a printer, that maps the character, you have to use SAPWIN or SAPWINCF when using cascading fonts. The rendering will be done in the windows spooler.
Backend: Your printer needs also a mapping (look like something with UTF8). Also the printer needs the fonts installed because the rendering will be done in the printer!
If you use the pdf-printer in SAP, you need to upload all necessary fonts (TTF) for the pdf-composer. Also you need a unicode pdf printer for that.

Christian

Problem in Smart Forms Print Preview.

Hi ABAP experts,
I am facing the flg problem:
when i run ME23N transaction and click on print preview
-> the logo is not displayed, and
-> the values are displayed randomly.
but when i take the printout,the output is displayed in a perfect way.
I am not able understand what the exact problem is!!!!
can anybody please help me out and this is repeated in many cases. when contacted BASIS people they are saying thet its a problem from abap-side only!!!!

Hi,
Have you tried both (Print preview & Printout) using the same printer ?
If yes, please try to create a spool & chk whether it is comming properly.
Reason, may be some server memory issue, it can respond like this for the print preview.

Selva K.

Smart form PRINT PREVIEW working on one box but not on other box

Hi Guys,
I have one program which works on DV1 box but is not working on DV2 box. It is NOT giving short dump. In this program there is PRINT PREVIEW button. This print preview button is work in DV1 but not in DV2. DV1 & DV2 are ECC 6 and we installed SAP service pack.
I will really appreciate if somebody can give me some direction.
Thanks,
mini

Program is save in both the boxes. DV2 has SAP service pack, but DV1 not. I think this problem is related to FONTS not being supported by service pack.
How can I fix this?

Unable to view Form-16-Print Preview No Result.

Hi,
I am able to see the Form-16 in SE71-Payroll_India_Income Tax_Form 16 for India, there if i click of the arrows i could see the form.
But when i run the report & try to check the form for the employee through Print Form-Print Preview-,the printer set up is already in place but System takes me to the Spool & nothing is coming .
The emplyee has only worked in the organization for 1 month, so 1 months payroll result is available in the system & his posting for the month had already taken place.,
but when i check the Print Error- System gives MSG that no Payroll result is available for the particular employee. where as PC_PayResult shows the Pyresult is available.
I am not able to fix this....please provide some input on the same???

Hi Ameet,

Generate and Print Preview Multiple Forms in a Single PDF

There have been other questions similar to this but none directly address my problem. We have the need to generate multple forms in a .pdf using Adobe interactive forms. We can generate the multiple forms, but the user has to click on each form to view. They want to have the forms in a single document that they can scroll through before printing. We can do this in SmartForms but need to do it in Adobe. Does anyone know how to generate multiple forms, either multiple copies of the same form or various forms, from an ABAP program into a single pdf that can be print previewed, in scrollable form, by the user?

I can describe it one more time, I think:))
You have multiple options, but only one "reasonable" within SAP.
You can call an external application (through command line etc.) to concatenate forms for you.
You can use iText as mentioned in the thread, and write yourself a "tool" which will concatenate the forms for you.
Both these "options" would not be acceptable for my clients, I name them to help you get the whole picture.
Then there is the third option: use a form for a single instance (template/ form A) and create a new form (form B), where you will use the A template:
- you need to: create a new interface where everything from the old interface is a row of the table (example: you have a form to print out the personal card of the employee, so in a new form you will need to use a table, where a row is an employee)
- you need to create a new form layout based on the new interface:
in this new layout you will paste the whole layout of the old form (A/ single instance) and wrap it into a subform. The added subform will work as a table (you will bind that to the table from interface) and everything from the old template within this new subform will work as a "row" (something what you can repeat for each data item).
Does that sound reasonable?
Cheers Otto

Print preview of smart form

Hi all,
how to view the print preview of a smart form and how to debug the smart form
Thank You

SMARTFORM-> execute->execute->pass values if require to import & table parameters ->execute-> on the pop up window give Printer name as LP01 and press print preview.
For debussing -
1. write BREAK POINT in the code window.
2. Put a break point on the call function in the driver program
3. put a brak point in the generated Function module.

Help reqd to display the form output without print preview

Hi all,
I did one gate pass form and i want to view the form in my selection screen or output screen(just in monitor) as a display by giving one t-code.
i.e, we can view the form thru Print preview...the same preview, i want to display after i give my parameter in the selection screen.
For example.ZGPOUT if i enter as a t-code.
it should ask my Gate Pass number in the Selection screen...if its right then my Form will come out to the display screen. (instead of going by Print method).,
Pls post ur comment and reply me with examples,if possible.
thanks & regards
sankar.
