Handling Non English language characters in PDF output

Hi All,
We have a requirement wherein we have to display an existing Smartform output in a PDF format.
We have used OTF to PDF conversion and displayed the PDF output in a container.
The issue is if certain characters are of non english language then the PDF is displaying these characters as special symbols.
The following string is getting dispalyed in the SmartForm as follows:
ОРЕНБУРГАВТОРЕМСЕРВИС_
The same string is displayed as follows in the PDF form :
Any pointers on how to handle such cases would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Before calling the smartform, use the FM 'SSF_GET_DEVICE_TYPE' and get the device type based on the language.
For eg:
CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_GET_DEVICE_TYPE'
    EXPORTING
      i_language = l_langu
    IMPORTING
      e_devtype = lwa_output_options-tdprinter.
Then you need to build the other control parameters like this:
Build control parameters.
lwa_control_parameters-getotf = c_charx.
lwa_control_parameters-device = 'PRINTER'.
lwa_control_parameters-preview = ''.
lwa_control_parameters-no_dialog = c_charx.
lwa_output_options-tddest = 'LOCL'.
Pass this lwa_output_options & lwa_control_parameters to output_options & control_parameters respectively in the Smartform FM.
This should ideally solve this issue.

Amirth

Hi Yamini,
I think this happens when you look at utf-8 in Windows wiith another character set. I've noticed that the XML file (and hence the PDF output) displays those characters when I preview reports on the BI desktop, but the output from the server is fine, so I don't worry about it.

Passwords in non-english languages

Hi all,
I have some passwords in non-english languages, but enter them in English layout. Looks like "FylhjblDHfpsKexit".
Standard keyboard doesn't display another language while it in English layout. How to enter such passwords?
Remake passwords in English - bad idea.

Again: What language are you talking about?
It sounds to me like your passwords are in fact in Latin characters, but you want to enter them as if you were using some other language keyboard. I think the only way to do that would probably be to use a bluetooth keyboard.
You could ask Apple to add the feature you want via
http://www.apple.com/feedback
but I cannot imagine they would ever do so.

Can't seem to save non-English as text from PDF using Reader

I have several PDF documents that were originally generated by OpenOffice from a UTF8-encoded text file. The text is in different languages, e.g. Korean, Arabic, Russian, English. When I open these documents and then "save as text", the resulting text files contain garbage or nothing at all in all cases except for English. Is it possible to extract non-English text from a PDF document using Reader? If not, is there a different product that could be used for this purpose? Thanks much!

They're using fonts that you don't have on your system so no, it isn't possible with Reader.

Does Active Directory Support Non English Languages?

Hi,
I want to know that does Active Directory Support Non English Languages like japanes, Arabian?
I think we can have domain name in non english languages also. How active directory handles it.
Sandeep Gupta

This actually isn't controlled by Active Directory but by the core operating system and its language packs.

Lack of World or Non-English language films and search filter in Australia

iTunes Australia doesn't have a search set up for World or Non-English language films in Australia whereas it does in US. Please fix and please also include more titles - very limited to the point of embarrassing Apple...

We are fellow users here on these forums, if you want to leave feedback for Apple then you can do so via this page : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
In terms of the films that are available there, Apple can only sell the films that the studios/rights-holders have granted them licenses to sell there. You can try requesting that films be added, but unless the studios agree to it then Apple won't be able to add them : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

Converting a given string to non-english language

{color:#0000ff}Hi can anybody help me how to convert an entered string in textfield to french or spanish or to anyother non-english language?{color}

Hi,
I don't think you get a language translator package.
What you can do is store the fraises, words in a database.
//SQL Code
CREATE TABLE [Language_Data]
[ID]    INT NOT NULL IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY,
[Lang] VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,                             //Lang English/French.....
[Type] CHAR(1) NOT NULL,                                 //is Fraise or Word
[Words] VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL                             //Fraise or Word data
GO
CREATE TABLE [Translate]
[ID]       INT NOT NULL IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY,
[FK_Orig] INT NOT NULL REFERENCES [Language_Data]([ID]), //ID of the original language
[FK_Trans] INT NOT NULL REFERENCES [Language_Data]([ID]) //ID's for all known translations
GO Create Stored procedures to add a new word/fraise to the [Language_Data] table,
Create a Stored Procedure to add a translation to the [Translate] table
Please note that to add a translation you will first insert into the [Language_Data] table then
insert the original's ID and the translation ID to the [Translate] table Also make prevision for backwards translation

Hi Mr_Sia and welcome to the RH community.
You could try looking at the HAT Matrix. This is a comparison
of all the help tools around. Click
here to go to it.
RoboHelp itself, whilst it does support over 35 different languages
does not support Persian or Arabic.

I am getting emails in a foreign (non-english) language?

I am receiving emails in a non-english language. I guess I must have pressed something during installation and/or startup. This is not a wish to choose a language to open web pages with it is the language with which Mozilla is attempting to communicate with me.

This is not my problem; the emails are from Mozilla.
I tried the previous suggestion and it looks like its going to work but at the end it pops up a screen that says "How Embarrassing". I says the problem could be caused by an open web sight or to set up a completely new session, which doesn't work either.

Customer conversion for non-english language

Hi:
We have a requirement to convert customer data from lagacy system to Oracle EBS supporting English and Non-English languages. Our conversion programs for english is working fine but we are not sure about the approach for other language converions. Can anyboody share the knowledge if faced similar requirements?
Thanks /Santanu

I believe your conversion programs should work regardless of the language the data is stored in, as long as the database and Apps use UTF8 characterset. To the code, data is data, whether it is in English or in another language. Your approach should be to test your conversion programs in test instances and tweak them as necessary. Are there specific concerns you have with using data in other languages ?

Handling Non-English characters in the payload

Hi Gurus,
We are currently facing an issue in XI with Non-English characters. When we are trying to process Non-English characters in the payload , they are getting converted in to Junk characters at the receiver end. This scenario inbound to SAP ( File to Idoc scenario ) . Is there a way that Non-English characters can be handled in XI.

Non English language support

Hi,
We use measurement studio 6 in a non Unicode application, written VS2008 C++.
We have problems displaying non English characters in CWGraph.
1. Is there a way to set language or codepage for CWGraph dynamically? statically?
2. Will switching the application to Unicode can help in this issue?
3. If the above answers are false, do later versions like 7,8.x can help in this issue?
Any other suggestions are welcome.
thanks

The only information I have been able to find on this is here. It seems like you may need to change to unicode, and 8.0 or later.

Square boxes instead of Japanese characters in pdf output of a crystal rep

Hi All,
Did anyone of you ever faced such an issue, where the pdf output of a crystal report shows square boxes instead of Japanese characters when the output is saved in pdf. However the crystal report output looks perfect. I have saved the ouput in xls and rtf formats the characters look perfect as required, the issue we have is when the output is saved as pdf.
I have language pack installed on my machine.
My guess is that the few Character's width is not sufficient and few Characters in other fields appear perfect in pdf. I have to test this, it might take few days before I can access this report. Before that I want to gather information. If anyone has solution to this issue please let me know.
Thanks,
Ravi

Hi,
Could you please answer the following questions
1.What version of Crystal Reports are you using?
Go to Help-> About to find out.
2.What is the font you are using on the report?
Try to change the font style to MS Gothic or Arial Unicode MS, most preferably MS Gothic.
And export the report to PDF format.
This may help you
Thanks,
Praveen G
