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

  • Printing Chinese Characters in Smart Forms

    Hi,
    Iu2019m trying to print Chinese characters via smart forms. However during print preview or print, all Chinese characters are showing as # symbols.
    I have researched and implemented for some possible solutions posted in the forum like:
    a.) Setting the regional language control panel.
    b.) Activating the multi-byte function in I18N.
    c.) Checked the output device is SWINCF.
    d.) Control parameter language is ZH (Chinese).
    Unfortunately it still doesnu2019t solve the problem. Any input is highly appreciated.
    With regards,
    Marc

    Remark following basics:
    Forms:
    Language of the form must be: "ZH".
    Due to a SAPNOTE only font family CN* (CNSONG etc.) is mapped.
    For frontend print, you must install chinese true type on you local PC and print via "CNSAPWIN" .
    For backend print, you must install neccesaary fonts in your printer to the resident fonts. You must use a printer like "CNHPL4" or so.
    For PDF archiving, you must upload truetype fonts to application server -> basis guys.
    Cascading Fonts:
    If you mix different subfonts to unicode areas, you must use CNSAPWINCF.
    Until now, only frontend printing is available.
    Note:
    Spool created for back end print with print preview is only a simulation of getting a picture of the output created with front end technology. So it can differ, when the printer does not have the resident fonts.

  • 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.

  • 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?
    Thanks,

  • Regarding Smart Form Printing, Print Preview issues

    Hi,
    I have couple of issues regarding Smart Form Printing, Print Preview.
    In my program i am passing below parameters to smart form function module:
    t_control-device = c_printer.
    t_control-no_dialog = space.
    t_control-preview = space.
    t_control-no_dialog = c_x.
    t_output-tddest = g_spld.
    t_output-tdimmed = c_x. " Print Immediately
    t_output-tddelete = space. " Don't Release spool after output
    g_user_settings = c_x.
    Issue#1: Though i have set preview paramter to space, after executing program it is prompting for Preview Screen, There again i have to give printer name though i am passing printer name as above and i need to hit on print preview button to set Layout output.
    Here how can i go directly to layout output without preview screen.
    Issue#2: In some cases we need to Print the layout set output after executing program immediately without prompting for preview screen and then Layout set output should also be shown after printing the output.
    How can i solve these issues!
    Thanks in advance.
    Thanks,
    Deep.

    Hi,
    In the SAP menu screen goto <b>System->User Profile->Own data</b>
    There in the defaults tab, for the output device give the value you had maintained for <b>g_spld.</b> This will not prompt you a dialog screen, and if you want to print immediately select the checkbox as well. Then try to execute the smartform. Hope this solves ur issue.

    Hi,
    Do you intend to say , that template cell size should vary depending on your data.
    I doubt that is possible.
    You should look for a workaround.
    Why dont you be more specific in your exact requirment, so that an alternate soln can be found.

  • 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.
    For your reference below is the code present in the program
      CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>GUI_DOWNLOAD

    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.

    Hi Ravi,
    I don't know about a function module, but the vendor master table LFA1 has a field ADRNR pointing to the general address table with the fields for e.g. language and to the tables ADR2 for phone numbers, ADR3 for fax numbers and ADR6 for e-mail addresses.

    Hi,
    class VMD_EI_API_EXTRACT with method GET_DATA could make it.
    There are also some eSOA services that could make it fine. See services starting with Supplier*.
    Otherwise, this is more complicated.
