Printing text verticallyin smartform

Hi all,
How can we print text vertically.(INVERTED ) IN SMARTFORM.
Tnks in Advance.

The only way to print text vertically in SMARTFORMS is to place each character on it's own line or in a specific window or template that has been created to hold one character--as in the following example:
E
x
a
m
p
l
e
Adobe printforms on SAP (t-code SFP) can rotate your text if you're on a system that has been setup for that.
If, by "inverted", you mean upside-down then the only way to do this in SMARTFORMS, that I know of, is to create an image of your information upside-down and include that as an image in your SMARTFORM where needed (not recommended). If you have to pull the information in dynamically for this issue then this approach will not work. There are bar codes that can be inverted (upside-down) in SMARTFORMS but that was not your question--just thought I would mention that.

Printing text in smartforms

Hi everyone
i am working on smartforms and i have to print a text which is of som 50lines in 2 columns

Do you have the lines of text in an internal table?
If so you can do so.
Use the function module 'rkd_word_wrap' to wrap text into lines of, say, 20 characters each.
CALL FUNCTION 'RKD_WORD_WRAP'
EXPORTING
    textline                  = <your itab text line>
DELIMITER                 = ' '
    OUTPUTLEN                 = 20 <no of chars in a line>
IMPORTING
OUT_LINE1                 =
OUT_LINE2                 =
OUT_LINE3                 =
TABLES
   OUT_LINES                 = table containing
                                                    text
EXCEPTIONS
OUTPUTLEN_TOO_LARGE       = 1
OTHERS                    = 2
Count the no of lines in the wrapped text using LINES( itab )
statement.
Divide the lines into two.
Then write those divided lines into table with two columns, remove loop at internal table check box.

hi ,
tcode se63 is used for conversion of so many object like sap-script,smartforms,dictionary objects etc.
suppose u wanna to change original language of copied sap standard sap - script forms then u can change the original laguage ge to en by this code.
jus go to se63 -
>translation----> long texts--->sap-script--> forms
then jus put the name of copied form and press the edit button.
similarly u can change other objects original language
This helps in translating the text to different language.

Problem printing horizontal text in smartform with zebra Z6M label printer

hello,
The situation is this:
There is a Z smartform wich prints a label to a zebra Z6M label printer with the text and barcodes vertically.
The form have a command in the main windows with the parameter: S_LZPL_SETUP '^FWR'
This label works fine, but the client want to change the form, they have told me to create a new smartform and print the info horizontally, using the same printer.
The tests i have done are the following:
create a smartform from ground and write a template text and a barcode with a new font of system barcodes. the bardoce is shown ok(it is shown horizontally), the problem is that the template text is shown vertically, as in the original smartform.
then i tried on another zebra ZM600 label printer, similar model, but not the same, and the smartform printed was ok (text and barcodes shown horizontally). So i think is a configuration setting problem, but i dont know where to search.
i have checked the label printer parameters in SPAD, but didnt find anything souspicios.
have you any idea?
thanks in advance.

See these if they be of any help.....
BARCODE:
goto smartform styles-> create a style-->
create a character format.
under standard settings give the bar code name
use this style in ur smartform. select the data field which u want to barcode print and assign the character format
Similarly
SAPSCRIPT
open the form and click the character format button and
repeat the step as above....

Go to Character formate in your form.
create a new char formate with enable BAR code AND
you can give its type too.
To Create a Bar code prefix:
1) Go to T-code - SPAD -> Full Administration -> Click on Device Type -> Double click the device for which you wish to create the print control -> Click on Print Control tab ->Click on change mode -> Click the plus sign to add a row or prefix say SBP99 (Prefix must start with SBP) -> save you changes , it will ask for request -> create request and save
2) Now when you go to SE73 if you enter SBP00 for you device it will add the newly created Prefix
Create a character format C1.Assign a barcode to the character format.Check the check box for the barcode.
The place where you are using the field value use like this
<C1> &itab-field& </C1>.
You will get the field value in the form of barcode.
Which barcode printer are you using ? Can you download this file and see.

Detailed information about SAP Barcodes
A barcode solution consists of the following:
a barcode printer
a barcode reader
a mobile data collection application/program
A barcode label is a special symbology to represent human readable information such as a material number or batch number
in machine readable format.
There are different symbologies for different applications and different industries. Luckily, you need not worry to much about that as the logistics supply chain has mostly standardized on 3 of 9 and 128 barcode symbologies - which all barcode readers support and which SAP support natively in it's printing protocols.
You can print barcodes from SAP by modifying an existing output form.
Behind every output form is a print program that collects all the data and then pass it to the form. The form contains the layout as well as the font, line and paragraph formats. These forms are designed using SAPScript (a very easy but frustratingly simplistic form format language) or SmartForms that is more of a graphical form design tool.
Barcodes are nothing more than a font definition and is part of the style sheet associated with a particular SAPScript form. The most important aspect is to place a parameter in the line of the form that points to the data element that you want to represent as barcode on the form, i.e. material number. Next you need to set the font for that parameter value to one of the supported barcode symbologies.
Creating Bar code:
) Go to T-code - SPAD -> Full Administration -> Click on Device Type -> Double click the device for which you wish to create the print control -> Click on Print Control tab ->Click on change mode -> Click the plus sign to add a row or prefix say SBP99 (Prefix must start with SBP) -> save you changes , it will ask for request -> create request and save
2) Now when you go to SE73 if you enter SBP00 for you device it will add the newly created Prefix
Create a character format C1.Assign a barcode to the character format.Check the check box for the barcode.

Standard text printing missing on Smartform

Hi All,
I am using standard text in Smartform.
Standard text contains 'terms and conditions' hence it's used for printing in second page.
For printing standard text one window other than Main window has been created in second page.
Now when I am taking print preview of smartform only two pages are visible and on second page complete standard text is not displayed. As standard text is of two pages then rest missing text should come on third page as a continuity.
But missing standard text is not getting diplayed.
Any suggestion what shall we do to print complete standard text.
Regards,
Amit

I tried to use the 2nd option provided by you but still this prolem is not resolved.
Missing Standard text is not going in a new page.
I tried to expand the window size and now entire text is coming in a single page. But by this way page window is not same as in a first page.
Is there any otherway to print the rest missing text in next page of the smartform.

Hi..how we enter standard text for smartform using include text

hi
guru
..how we enter standard text for smartform using include text..
i know only using so10 we write text..
in smartform it asking text-object
text-id,
so what values we should give to get text

Hi,
Do u want to print Standard Text or the Texts that are maintained at the Transaction level.
If it is standard text , then u use text id as ST or if it is Texts that are maintained at the Transaction level then u have to go to that specific transaction and check for that text , then go to text editor ,in the goto menu u have header data where u get the Text id , text name.... , use them in ur smartform in the INCLUDE text.
Further u have the option of text modules in smartforms which act as standard texts, so if u r going for creation of standard texts then its better to use text modules.
