Print preview coming in junk characters

Hello All,
Can some tell me when I execute me23n and I want to print the PO details, when I go for print preview, i get a print preview in junk characters, none of the characters is readable, whereas when other person tries to see the same he gets correct display of characters.
Could any one of you let me know Am I missing some setting.
Thanks,
Mark

Hello -
The print preview is done by the GUI, which is a Windows application. That the GUI can display a special font, there are two requirements:
- You must install a True Type Font in Windows, which contains a MICR
font (that the GUI can use the font to display the characters).
- You must tell the SAP the name of the Windows font. This
can be done via transaction SE73 -> Font Families, button
'RTF font info'. Note #130658 describes, what you have to enter here.
Regards.

Preview Template shows junk characters

Hi,
I have uploaded my RTF in the Template Definition and clicked on Preview Template to view it.
I see some junk characters coming in the PDF Preview output for the Euro symbol..If i run this as a concurrent program or run it locally in the system or preview it in format other than PDF everything else works fine..
This issue is only when we preview the template from the Template Definitions, am having the issue of junk characters for Euro symbol.

Print preview for the special characters / symbols

While displaying print preview / taking print output using QGA3 Transaction with developed Z SAPScript form specified as one of the parameters(say for example ZARMEXP), the special characters / symbols like u2018∆u2019 are displayed as u2018#u2019 in the print preview / print output . Of course similar problem had existed for Lambda Symbol u2018u03BBu2019., but it was resolved by using the font type Helve_I7. But for the symbol u2018∆u2019 we checked with almost all the fonts that were available in the system, but of not much use. Hence could you kindly provide us solution(s) that would resolve this issue.

Junk Characters are coming in the Print Preview of True Type Font

Hi
I am facing one issue. Here I have installed on one of the True type font of Gujarati (one of Regional language for India) language.When I see Print preview using LP01 Output device (which has SWIN Device Type) these true type font coming as Junk characters. But when I take print it is coming perfectly Ok. I want to know is there any setting required to maintain for Output device to see Print Preview in Gujarati also ?
I feel that when System is generating output for Preview it is ignoring true type font..
If there is any solution kindly let me know

Hi,
Try creating the spool using the unicode device type SWINCF(see note #812821) and check the result.

Polish characters on print preview are not correct, printing works well

Hi gurus,
i've got a problem with smartform print preview. Our programmer developed form, which is used in polish and english version. In polish version everything works fine - print and print preview has polish characters (ąłćźń etc). In english version, print preview has no polish characters in address paragraph, but when I print it, everything is on his place.
Unfortunetly, system is non-unicode. I tried changing font to other (but in polish version with the same font, print preview is correct), changing size, even charset of printer. Works badly on I2SWIN, HP-PCL, and any other printer type.
What should I do now? Removing polish letters or changing them into "normal" is not acceptable solution, especially that printing works fine (on I2SWIN and HP PCL type also).
Polish is of course installed on the system.
Thank you for your help.

Hi Martin,
another thought to solve the issue is to translate the form to pl in your system. I got a similar issue some time ago.
I developed the form in DE and translated it just to English, because we wanted to set always English.
Problem was, that french characters didn't show up in a proper way in print-preview. We solved the issue by translating the form also in FR and IT.
It seemed, that the formlanguage passed just the native charactersets for this language.
Maybe you are having the same issue. Otherwise would be nice, if you can share your solution if there is another one here

Thai Language displaying in '#' in print preview

Hi experts,
By use of smartform, I am printing the address by fetching datas from tables which are of Thai language.
But in print preview, I am getting '#' characters instead of thai characters.
FYI: I used the Thai lang paragraph format only.
While debugging I can see thai language format correctly but only displaying print preview I am getting
the '#' characters instead of thai characters.
FYI:
I installed thai languages and also my system supports thai lang.
Kindly help me in this regard.

Hi,
If you are able to print it properly and not able to view it in print preview or not even able to print it, then you need to do some addition of adding them in the UNIX server i guess, usually basis people will know about this.
Another possibility could be, UNICODE issue. Let's say if you are using any OPEN DATASET commands, check the ENCODING used, whether it supports these characters or not.

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

Junk characters in output print. Is it related to User profile?

Hi friends,
My user generated Invoices using MRRL and generated output using MR90.
Spool created for these invoices. But in the print, we are getting some lines with junk characters. It looks like chinese characters.
1. If I see the Spool print preview, still I see the junk characters. That means there is no problem with printer. And it should be a problem either with Output triggering or MR_PRINT form.
Important this is that, user facing this problem from yesterday only. Earlier to that everything was fine.
Are there any chances of this problem due to User profile?
In MIR4 transaction, in the Header output messages. I find in the Menu Edit -> Repeat output. But this is disabled for me. How to enable this?
Thanks in advance.

Lesson learned: Always go and check SPAD (devices) if you face any printer issues. My issue was because the Basis has changed some settings in SPAD for LOCL device

Hi Sagar,
Yes that's a problem for Cyrillic fonts , I suppose you are using two action definitions : one for ES and one for EN print.
For Spanish you have to use a smart style which supports the ISO Cyrillic characters and that will then open up correctly for Spanish users.

Junk Characters on first two pages of Cheque Printing SAP Script.

Hi All
I implementing cheque printing for one of our client's Oman based subsidiary. I have copied the standard SAP Script F110_PRENUM_CHCK into a Z-Form and maintained its original language as EN. I have commented out all the unnecessary peices of information in all the windows and customised as per my requirement.
Now the problem that i am facing is that when i execute this script through the standard driver program RFFOUS_C, i am getting junk characters on first two pages of the script. The info displayed comes in the HEADER and MAIN Windows. The desired output is coming in the 3rd, 4th and 5th pages.
Please let me know how should i get rid of these junk characters.
Regards
Harsh
PS: All info printed is in English only.

Hi
Thanks for your response.
Yes, the remittance advice header info is getting printed in the HEADER Window and its contents in the tabular structure are in the MAIN Window.
I am passing EN as the language.
Adding to this, the report RFFOUS_C gets executed and i am checking the spool that is created which has the junk characters on the first two pages.

Harsh

Display of "#" characters in the PO Print Preview

Hi all,
On Click of Print preview in the PO, the output contains only # characters and the normal values are not coming in the output print. I'd like to know why this garbage value gets picked up. Previously it used to work fine.
The recent change that has happened in the system is that we have done is we have gone for a support pack upgrade from Patch Level SAPKH50008 to SAPKH50019 in the SAP_APPL --Logistics and Accounting.
Thanks in Advance,

Junk characters coming in the PDF report for Lithuanian language

hi all,
I am facing a problem like some junk characters are coming while generating the report in PDF format in Reports 10g.
Junk characters (i.e something like revere of ?(question mark)) coming only for the special characters in the report when my application language set it as LITHUANIAN_LITHUANIA.UTF8.
Actually our application is supporting multi langauges; like English, German, French, Lithuania etc.
And in the Forms the the characters are appearing correctly... but while generating reports only i am having this issue for LITHUANIAN language.
I am using back end as Oracle 10g verision 2, and front as Reports 10g only.
Is there any way to resolve it?
thanks in advance
renjish

Hi,
I updated the reports.sh which is in Oracle Home path initailly and tried the report. But its not coming properly, some other junk characters are appearing now for the special characters
For e.g:
Actual English word: Funct. Group Poultry Parts Fresh
Correct Lithuanian Word: Funct. Grupė naminių paukščių dalių, šviežios
In Report: Funct. GrupÄ— naminiÅ³ paukÅ¡Ä•iÅ³ daliÅ³, Å¡vieÅ¾ios
Steps i have done:
1. Modified reports.sh with nls_lang as LITHUANIAN_LITHUANIA.UTF8
2. Run the report, output was coming like above e.g.
Is anything wrong what i did?.
or Report engine(reports.sh) will support multi-languages by using the Environment ID only(as you explained before, putting ENVID in repserver.conf - reportserver.)
thanks
