Form conversion to PDF with Chinese characters

Hello.
I have a Sap script form and it has Chinese characters in the title and footer. It is converted to PDF then send it to email, at transaction SOST. The Chinese characters was replaced by '#'.
Our basis tried to install the device driver for PDF stated in sap note 999712, but still it didn't correct the form's output in the PDF file. The form is in ZH and the font used in the form is CNSONG. The transactions was also executed during ZH logon. Would anybody know a solution to this?
Thanks in advance!

Doray,
For printing in PDF other than english characters we have to create new font .
Go to SE73 and create new font family Named ZCOUR_I6 and then execute the report RSTXPDF2 where in select the optin for activity to be performed as READ and SAVE the font file.
From control panel for to fonts and copy the COURIER NEW (TrueTYpe) font on to ur desktop .
Upload the the same font file using RSTXPDF2 by specifying it in the file name.
Then try to execute the tcode which u r usingh for converting the output to PDF and check whether the desired output has been converted.
Hope things are little clear for you.
Regards..

Opening PDF with chinese characters. Some characters change

I need to open a 4 page PDF that was originally created in word in Simplified Chinese. But when I open the PDF in Illustrator with Simplified Chinese open, some of the characters change. My client in the past has had success outlining the chinese before she sends. But it is no longer working for some reason. How can I match what I see on the PDF without having to convert it to a rastered image.?

Might not be working this time because the font is different. Calibri for example in english is one that does tno go over becasue of some unicode issue and you get boxes instead.
In any case you can in Acrobat >> file >> save as > more options >> encapsulated Postscipt. Open the .eps in illustaror and your font should be outlined, and correct.

GUI Download Issue with Chinese characters

Hello,
Currently we are upgrading from 4.7 to ECC. I'm using GUI_DOWNLOAD
function module to download the data from SAP to desktop. I do have an
issue with Chinese characters while downloading the file from SAP to ECC.
In 4.7 the Chinese characters are being downloaded (I haven't used any
code page) perfectly, but where as in ECC the downloaded file has junk
characters instead of Chinese.
Is there any change in the GUI_UPLOAD FM.

Hi bharat,
please check whether you ecc 6.0 is uni coded or not (as you upgraded).
If it is not uni coded then you will not be able to print the Chinese characters.
You can see whether it is uni coded or not by the following
in your app toolbar under system click on status.
There you can see whether your ecc6.0 is uni coded or not.

How to use a select statement with chinese characters?

I am currently developing a java servlet<using tomcat 4.x> which allows me to use select statement to retrieve results from the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 database. I am using a simple form to get the parameter for querying. The main problem i'm facing is that there are chinese information in the SQL database, but i can't retrieve it through the sql statement with the chinese characters input<thru the form with the help of NJ STAR>in the WHERE condition. When i execute the statement, it returns me no results even though the rows are present in the database.
Does anyone have the solution to using chinese words in the WHERE clause of the select statement to retrieve results with columns which contains chinese characters? Please help me. Thanks everyone. :)
PS: when i cut and paste those characters in the sql database and paste onto java.. it is ??? in questionmarks.. but when i paste them into excel 2000.. its shown as chinese chars again..
please heelppp~~

Greetings,
PS: when i cut and paste those characters in thesql
database and paste onto java.. it is ??? in
questionmarks.. but when i paste them into excelThis is why the SELECT is not returning any results.
You need to set the character encoding set on your
statement and parameters for the characters to be
properly translated. Refer to the charsetName
parameter in the String class constructor in your API
docs and also to
$JDK_DOCS/guide/intl/encoding.doc.html in your JDK
documentation.
2000.. its shown as chinese chars again..Because Office programs are performing the same kind
of character translation with the appropriate MS APIs.
please heelppp~~Regards,
Tony "Vee Schade" Cookis it possible for you to show me some coding examples? i don't really understand what is to be done in order to set the char set and what does it really do.. tried reading up but still dun understand.. :(
pardon my shallow knowledge of java..
ok..
The thing is when i used an insert statement with chinese characters of GBK format hardcoded into the java servlet and then i use the insert statement to insert the chars into the database, it cannot be seen as a chinese word when i off the NJStar. and then it can be searched out with my current form of servlet.. below is my coding of the servlet..

thank you so much for helping.. really hope any one else who knows the answer to this will reply too... thank you all so much...

PDF with Chinese text is unreadable?

Hi,
Ive tried the language packs but they don't help.
We have a chinese client who sends us PDFs with Chinese and English text in them, but the fonts are all messed up? It is unreadable because all the text appears to have really thick bolding, and the characters are spaced too close to each other.
Is this a bug, or am I missing a simple preference setting to fix this?
We have (ashamed to say!) tried opening the PDFs in another PDF reader application (I wont mention names!) and it displays just fine?
HELP!
Thanks
Alan

What I would try in your situation is Adobe Reader 9 with the corresponding font packs.
Uninstall the current reader and all font packs, then download and install the newest reader, with the font packs mentioned in this post http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b5b05b

Problems with Chinese characters

I have a client experiencing 3 distinct problems with their Chinese-localized Fm files:
The SimSun TTF font used in the source Fm files is "uninstalling" itself. This requires reinstallation of the font on a regular basis (every few days).
The colons used in index markers in the Fm source files are not being parsed as Level1IX, Level2IX, etc. in the RoboHelp project. Instead, they are recognized as colons. In other words, the first level marker in Rh is XXXXXXXX:XXXXXXX:XXXXXXX. The same is true for the semicolons.
The conversion settings for the Chinese project do not allow for mapping to individual CSS elements and classes. This means that all of the formatting is controlled via the supplemental CSS generated from the FrameMaker formatting. IOW, the formatting all uses the class="FM_ definitions.
Has anyone had success working with Chinese characters in a FrameMaker to RoboHelp workflow (either linking or importing)?
Anyone else seen any of these issues in Chinese or any other fonts?
I'm thinking the first two issues are likely due to the TrueType font used, but can't find an Adobe OTF SimSans font to use as a replacement.
However, the lack of mapping capability in the conversion process is a stumper...perhaps due to the double-byte font itself.
Any thoughts or solutions are greatly appreciated by my client (whose deadline passed yesterday!)
-Matt

I dont think you can print chinese chars at the console on window
to print the character codes to the console use someting like that
char [] chars = request.getParameter("whatever").toCharArray()
for(each chars){
System.out.println((int)chars);
then check if you got the corresponding chinese char

Emails arriving with Chinese characters

Hello,
I have a couple outside contacts that send emails to my users regarding travel. Flight itineraries and the like. Those emails usually have a PDF attached. Not sure if that is relavent or not. The emails display in my users Outlook client (2010) with Chinese
characters and some other odd characters (like a smiley face and hearts).
The research I've done points at the senders email server having the root issue. Perhaps they just had a patch applied and it changed the locale or they may be using a Lotus Notes server.
Lately, we've been getting more in from another outside source with the same problem, so I'm wondering if it isn't actually on my Exchange server (2007). Does anyone have an idea of what I could check to verify that this is or is not on my end of the pipe?
TIA

Hi,
According to your description, I recommend you use pipeline tracing to troubleshoot the issue.
Please refer to the following article to understand pipeline tracing:
Using Pipeline Tracing to Diagnose Transport Agent Problems
Pipeline tracing is a diagnostic feature in Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 that enables you to capture diagnostic information about e-mail messages as they encounter transport agents registered on Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) events in the transport
pipeline. Exchange captures verbose information about the changes that each transport agent applies to messages in the transport pipeline in message snapshot files. If transport rules are configured, Exchange Server also records any actions that each transport
rule takes on these messages.
How to Enable Pipeline Tracing
Hope this helps!
Thanks.

LoadUserProfile() creates a profile with Chinese characters on a remote system

Hi,
I'm working on an application where LoadUserProfile() is being used to remotely load a user profile on a machine. The token being passed to LoadUserProfile() is obtained from LogonUser().
When doing this only with a Domain Admin user which is added in Active Directory, it creates a profile with Chinese characters in the C:\Users\ folder of the remote machine. Note that this happens only when logging in for the first time with
this Domain Admin account remotely on that machine.
// code:
PROFILEINFO pi;
memset((void *) &pi, 0, sizeof(PROFILEINFO));
pi.dwSize = sizeof(PROFILEINFO);
pi.dwFlags = PI_NOUI;
pi.lpUserName = (TCHAR *)strUser; //strUser is the User name, and it shows correctly here when debugging
if (LoadUserProfile(hToken, &pi))
//It is actually successful, and comes here when debugging.
Although the name shows up correctly when debugging (remotely), why is it creating a profile with Chinese characters on the remote machine?
TIA,
Jy

CreateProfile won't load the profile. You need to use LoadUserProfile to load the profile, and you need to query for a roaming profile path to put in the lpProfileInfo parameter if you want to include that as well. You need a token for a
user to call LoadUserProfile, but not a profile handle. LoadUserProfile will populate that for you before it returns if it was successful. See this excerpt from
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb762281%28v=vs.85%29.aspx:
Upon successful return, the hProfile member
of PROFILEINFO is
a registry key handle opened to the root of the user's hive. It has been opened with full access (KEY_ALL_ACCESS). If a service that is impersonating a user needs to read or write to the user's registry file, use this handle instead of HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
Do not close thehProfile handle.
Instead, pass it to the UnloadUserProfile function.
This function closes the handle. You should ensure that all handles to keys in the user's registry hive are closed. If you do not close all open registry handles, the user's profile fails to unload. For more information, see Registry
Key Security and Access Rights and Registry

Working with Chinese characters: How to paste and modify them as sentences; not as individual images?

Working with Chinese characters: How to paste and modify them as sentences; not as individual images?
From 2004, this is so far the most detailed answer I could find: http://en.allexperts.com/q/Adobe-Illustrator-1027/FONTS-display-problem-Adobe.htm, but is this really still the most up-to date solution?
Is it possible at all to work with Chinese characters, if I don't have the Chinese version of Illustrator? (http://www.proz.com/forum/dtp_desktop_publishing/221125-chinese_in_indesign.html)

Thanks for your reply.
I'm using Version 17.1.0 (64-bit) - basically CS6.
Operating system is Windows 8.1. Installed is the simplied Chinese language package.
I have received the text in a Word document. It contains mixed characters, something like this:
教授资料
学术背景：
博士；曾于波恩大学（Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn）、台湾师范大学、
I have tried to paste it in the two following ways:
1) to create a text box and paste the text. The result is that some of the characters are not showed correctly.
2) Paste it directly without any preparation. This result into a single "image" or group of images. I can cancel modify each character one at a time, or I can dissolve the group, but the result is the same.

HT2506 How can I open uscis.gov/files/form/n-400.pdf with Preview?

Problem (A)
When I try to open some PDFs, such as uscis.gov/files/form/n-400.pdf with OS X Preview, I get the error message:
"Please wait...
If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document.
You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader for Windows®, Mac, or Linux® by visiting http://www.adobe.com/go/reader_download.
For more assistance with Adobe Reader visit http://www.adobe.com/go/acrreader.
Windows is either a registered trademark or a trademark of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries. Mac is a trademark of Apple Inc., registered in the United States and other countries. Linux is the registered trademark of Linus Torvalds in the U.S. and other countries."
Apple presents Preview as being a better substitute for Adobe Reader, but in this case it does not work at all. (I think this may relate to PDFs with entry fields in them.)
Problem (B)
If I set the documents having this problem to be opened with Adobe Reader instead of Preview, the next time I save them from Adobe Reader, they are reset to open with Preview again.
I thus have to always do Open with… for them, or else set all my PDF documents to be opened with Adobe Reader.
Can anyone offer any workarounds for problem (A) or (B)?
Does anyone know Apple's position on problem (A)? Will they eventually fix Preview so that it opens PDF documents such as the one above, or will Preview only ever work on a sub-set of PDF documents?
If Adobe is refusing to provide Apple the information needed to open certain types of PDF documents, does anyone know Adobe's position on this?
Thank you

What version O/S do you have? 10.7.4 is latest.
I have something for you to try. I'm reading that Lion supports two different types of file-type association. That is, in addition to a global ".PDF opens with Preview" you can also have a file-by-file setting to over-ride the global one and have it open is something else - like Adobe Reader.
So, how about you test this out to see if its true?
First chainge your global .PDF back to Preview:
http://osxdaily.com/2009/10/25/change-file-associations-in-mac-os-x/
Or reset everything back to defaults:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1282118
Then when you come accross something that won't open in Preview, use this to set just that file to open in Adobe Reader:
http://osxdaily.com/2011/08/15/easily-set-file-association-in-mac-os-x-lion-usin g-always-open-with-app/
There is also a utility for controlling the file-type settings - but - I don't know if it supports this new feature:
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/14618/rcdefaultapp
(if this a new feature and hasn't been around all along and I just didn't know about it)

Reply email with chinese characters become

My colleagues sent an email with Chinese characters while I'm outside the office, so I replied it using my iPhone 4S with Chinese characters too.
However, my colleagues (she is using Outlook) said the email that she received is not readable. All the Chinese characters become garbled.
This issue also applied to iPad 2 because I again resent it using my iPad 2.
Is there a way to overcome this issue? Otherwise, I cannot do my work when I'm away my desk.
Pls help~

If I create a new mail using my iPhone 4GS or iPad 2, I won't have the problem.
This issue only applied when I reply or forward an email from my colleagues whoes emails contain Chinese characters. To avoid this issue, the only language I can use is typing English but some of my colleagues only understand Chinese.
I believe this problem is an encolding issue too because this case also apply on the Mail in my MacBook Pro. But I can change my encoding to "Traditional Chinese - Big 5" on Mail in my MBP but iPhone & iPad don't have this function.
The problem still there even I switched the OS language b/w English and Chinese.

CF10 HF8 monitor appears with chinese characters

Help: What happend? After applying HF8 to CF10, the monitor app appears with chinese characters .... of course exactly when I needed it urgently
where can I influence that? Note, the entire CF Admin is as usual in english.

Have you tried doing it through a GUI? :-)
Fire up the Gnome File Manager under start (the coffee cup),Places and then find the file and trash or delete it.
Something a bit more onerous would be to copy all of the files except for the offending file someplace else and then go up to the parent directory and just do an rm -r sub-directory.

CRVS2010 Beta - Cannot export report to PDF with unicode characters

My report has some unicode data (Chinese), it can be previewed properly in the windows form report viewer. However, if I export the report document to PDF file, the unicode characters in exported file are all displayed as a square.
In the version of Crystal Report 2008 R2, it can export the Chinese characters to PDF when I select a Chinese font in report. But VS2010 beta cannot export the Chinese characters even a Chinese font is selected.

Barry, what is the specific font you are using?
The below is a reformatted response from Program Management:
Using non-Chinese font with Unicode characters (Chinese) the issue is reproducible when using Arial font in Unicode characters field. After changing the Unicode character to Simsun (A Chinese font named 宋体 in report), the problem is solved in Cortez and CR both.

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. 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.
