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.

  • 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.

    Hi Balaji,
    I am having a similar issue with Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Thai fonts when saving spools to PDF.  Have you found any more information on why the output shows up as a blank screen?
    We are printing Purchase Orders and the T&Cs are coming through fine because they are saved as picture files but the smartform does not display at all.
    Any information would be appreciated!
    Thanks,

  • 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.

  • 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.

    You can't download keyboards for an iPhone.  You have to use the ones already present, which include a number for Chinese, as listed in the tech specs.

  • Generated pdf file from oracle reports show bad characters

    Hello all,
    Iam fighting with a problem with generated pdf file from oracle reports which show some bad characters. I was searching for some information but it didnt help...
    I have Oracle Database 11g R2 (or 10g R2) on Oracle Linux or Windows, Oracle forms and reports 6i (i know that is very old and not supported with 11gr2 but we are in this scenario).
    NLS parameters are set like this
    server:
    NLS_CHARACTERSET EE8MSWIN1250
    NLS_TERRITORY AMERICA
    NLS_LANGUAGE AMERICAN
    client:
    NLS_CHARACTERSET EE8MSWIN1250
    NLS_TERRITORY SLOVAK
    NLS_LANGUAGE SLOVAKIA
    When I run Oracle Reports it show perfect in display and when I try to print them, they are all good with good characters, but when I try to generate pdf file, some characters like č,š,ľ are not displaying corectly... This happen only when try to generate to pdf...
    I try to work with uifont.ali on client side but without any result. Fonts for reports were installed on client and server side... Can someone help me with this problem? Thank you very much for every advice.
    Martin

    Hi Sergiusz,
    Thank you for your reply. I look at what you wrote and try to make some test...
    1) For first I download FontForge, which can generate type1 font from true type. So I open FontForge and open my Arial.ttf font and use "Generate Fonts" to save my Arial.ttf font to pfb and pfm (whoch are need to set in uifont.ali). I have to change encoding, because my font has 2byte encoding so I reecondode the font from ISO10646-1 to ISO8859-2 and generate to pfb.
    2) Then I navigate REPORTS_PATH from regedit to my *.pfm and *.pfb files.
    3) I add these lines to end of my uifont.ali
    [ PDF:Embed ]
    Arial = "Arial.pfm Arial.pfb"
    ArialNarrow = "ArialNarrow.pfm ArialNarrow.pfb"
    4) Then I generate my report but nothing change... I check "Font used" in my pdf file, but there were not my fonts embedded I guess..
    I also try PDF:Subset, but it doesnt change anything... I try PDF aliasing to see if my uifont is working - this work very well, but I dont need to change font...
    Any other advice? Thank you so much to everyone!

  • 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 ?

  • 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.
    Regards,
    Aidan

  • 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?
    http://skim-app.sourceforge.net/
    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.
