Pdf conversion from a non unicode system to a unicode system

Hi,
I have a BSP application that runs on a unicode system which retrieves data to be output in pdf from a non unicode sap system.
We get the data from the non unicode system through a RFC call and store data in table otfdata type itcoo, then we perform the conversion through the following:
perform pdfcnv_convertotf in program saplstxw
tables otfdata
pdf
using
'T'
archive_index
1
'T'
pdf_bytecount
app_tot_xstring
and then perform the hex conversion, but the printout is full of # chars. The good characters are followed by the # char. It looks like the unicode conversion is not good.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Donatella

Welcome to SDN
check out this weblog where Thomas Jung explains unicode conversion for excel, the same thing could be applied in your case as well

  • PDF conversion from Word - WMF display

    I have created a PDF from a word document. It has WMFs inserted in the document using BuildBetter WMF.  The document displays correctly in word.  I have used the preset of "high quality" on the PDF conversion.  The document print quality is correct but I am having difficulty seeing the WMF drawing when displayed on the computer.  If I zoom in I can see the drawing fine.  Obviously it is a pixel problem.  How can I fix this?

    You should be able to print to the Adobe PDF printer, but nothing else probably will work with OFFICE 2010 as Adobe told you. You probably can just wait until AA10. There are no current expectations of AA9 being updated to work with OFFICE 2010 (at least the PDF Maker part.).

  • Control of PDF conversion from CIS application?

    Hi,
    Presently we are able to check-in a file from our java application and the Stellent automatically converts the submitted file into PDF. Now the client wants to have control on the PDF conversion. When the user submits a file from the java application, it should not get converted as and when he submits. we need to provide a button by clicking on the button the pdf conversion should start. My questions are:
    1) Can we have control on the conversion?
    2) Can we stop Stellent not to convert the file on check-in?
    3) Using the document id can we convert the native file to pdf?
    Please let us know...
    if there is any documentation available please guide me.
    Server details:
    CS : 10GR3
    Ghost Script : 8.63
    Open Office 3.1
    Thanks in advance,

    The new (10g) IBR is SOA enabled, so you can call services to convert documents on the fly, including documents not stored in content server. There are also sample components delivered with IBR that provide insight around the conversion process. The short answer is you can do about anything you like now. The answer you didn't want to get here is that it may be more complicated than a forum post can explain. Start by exploring the various services and the example components and come back with more questions.
    As for CIS, I'm not sure how that fits against the new IBR architecture, sorry.

  • Doc to PDF conversion failed for Acrobat 9  on IIS7/win 2008 system

    I wanted to convert a doc to PDF. But getting error when PDF distiller initialized.
    Error : 006~ASP 0177~Server.CreateObject Failed~80080005
    at statement  : Set Obj = server.CreateObject("PdfDistiller.PdfDistiller.1")
    This is done is classic ASP.
    This works perfectly fine on IIS6/win 2003 with Acrobat 5 . but getting error on production server where IIS7/win 2008,Acrobat 9 is installed.
    I have added all the necessary permissions.
    What could be the problem?
    Any help would be appriciated.

    But the same thing is working fine for Acrobat distiller 5 on IIS 6 and Win 2003.
    With Acrobat 5,printer installed is called Acrobat Distiller and with Acrobat 9, printer installed is called Adobe PDF. This should not affect the distiller functionality/execution  I think.
    Manual Doc to PDF conversion works, means if document is passed to Adobe PDf it converts the doc to PDF.
    Somehow automation is not working failing at statement
    Set oDistiller = CreateObject("PDFDistiller.PDFDistiller.1")
    Could there be case that Acrobat 9 doesn't support automation or need license or so?

  • PDF conversion from Open Office

    Hi everyone. I have a dilemma. I've tried to convert my Open Office document into a PDF--not for printing, but as an attachment. I've tried it from the Export PDF icon on top of document and from the File menu. It keeps coming up in code, losing formatting and such. Then I get the PDF Options box that asks me for range, images, general. I know I put it for all or submit PDF format. Then there's invitial view for panes, magnification, page layout, and so on. Then it when I export it, it asks me on the ASCII filters for character set, default fonts, language and paragraph break. Every time I've tried it, it comes up in code. What do I select? P.S. An agent wants to read the first 100 pages of my ms in a partial ASAP!

    Are you running OpenOffice or NeoOffice?
    http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/index.php
    I am running NeoOffice 3.0 Patch 0
    file > export as pdf...
    bunch of options panel appears. Took all defaults.
    where to save panel appears. Saved to desktop. worked for me.
    One & five page files.
    could print off document & mail.

  • PDF conversion from Word 2010 incredibly slow and loses format

    Just moved onto new laptop with Windows 7 Word 2010
    and downloaded Acrobat 9 Pro trial.  Have used Acrobat 8 with Word 2007 and earlier versions with no problems. Now taking half an hour to convert a document and cutting out margins.  Just today I was talking with Adobe tech help and was advised Acrobat 9 is compatible with Word 10.  Any suggestions?

    You should be able to print to the Adobe PDF printer, but nothing else probably will work with OFFICE 2010 as Adobe told you. You probably can just wait until AA10. There are no current expectations of AA9 being updated to work with OFFICE 2010 (at least the PDF Maker part.).

  • Font Scrambling in PDF Conversions from Word 2004

    Our Imago fonts periodically get scrambled into garbage when using the Adobe 7.0 Pro Distiller to convert documents. We purchased the Imago fonts specifically for use in our business and have used this for a number of years and the problem continues to happen. It appears that it is imbedded properly in the preferences menu. Has anyone had this happen or does anyone have any suggestions?

    Hello, hereby a snapshot of the Word doc & the result as pdf as shown in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. (In Acrobat reader it shows ok) . Depending on how I convert to pdf I get different results. Sometimes a completely coloured page, a blank page or with only the coloured line showing.
    I don't know how to post a link (don't have a web address ..) but if you give me a mail-address I could send the Word document to you. 

  • Making Adobe PDF with From Field Non-Savable

    Hello,
    I'm using Adobe Acrobat Professional ver 9 and have created an accessible course certificate form with a fillable field.  The user brings up the certificate, types their name in the field, and prints the certificate.  When they do this, the form gets updated with their name even if they didn't save it.  So the next person that brings up the form sees the previous persons name.
    Is there a way to have the user type their name in the field, print the certificate, and not have the name saved in the field?  I'd like it if every time someone brings up the certificate that it's a fresh copy.
    Thank you.

    This form, a course completion certificate, is on an intranet and I'm not able to post a link.  If a person types their name in the text form field and chooses "Save" the form is saved with their name.  If the user chooses "Save As" it works as expected.  The user can save a copy of the form somewhere else and the original is not changed.
    Is there a way to "disable" Save so the original cannot be changed?

  • Why do u inhabit truecaller from showing non saved contacts as other operating systems

    No, we can't.
    User to user forum, no Apple here.
    Try googling for apple feedback.
    Just because Android ignores user security and privacy, Apple should not.

    For example:
    data : v_matnr type matnr,            "R/3 Material

           v_zeros(22) type c. value '0000000000000000000000000000'.
    CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_INPUT'

  • Acrobat/CS5.5 won't open from a non-Administrator account

    I have an intermittent problem that occurs when I double-click a .pdf file from a non-Administrator account.  Acrobat.exe shows up as an active process in Task Manager, but Acrobat never actually launches or opens the file.  My administrator doesn't have this problem from his account on the same computer.  This is an intermittent problem that occurs about 70% of the time I try to open a .pdf.  I am also unable to launch Acrobat from the Start menu when I am experiencing the problem.  I am running Windows 7.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I completed all of the recommendations and I am still having this problem.  I'm going to completely uninstall all Adobe products and re-install again.  Is there any recommended steps for a complete uninstall?

    You need to have an app on your iPad that can use these files. pdf files can be opened by the iBooks app and a number of other 3rd party apps. You will need to check in the iTunes App Store for an app that can handle MS Word files.
    You can sync pdfs to iBooks on the iPad following these instructions from the iPad User Guide;
    Use iTunes to sync your books with iPad. When iPad is connected to your computer, the Books pane lets you choose which books to sync.
    In addition to books that you download from iBookstore, iBooks works with books that are pdf or in ePub format and DRM-free. There are several websites that offer ePub books, and many of these books can be used with iBooks.
    Add a pdf or an ePub book: Download the book using your computer, then add it to your iTunes library. Connect iPad to your computer, select the book in the Books pane in iTunes, then sync iPad.
    To sync pdfs and Word files to other apps is a different process. In iTunes on the computer go to the File Sharing section of the Apps tab and highlight the app that youwish to use for the files. Press the Add button and then browse to where the files are located on your computer and choose them.
