Problem in converting Spool to PDF file, having non-English characters

Hi All,
I have problem in converting Spool to PDF format.
Scenario : I have a spool which has non-English characters. I am using CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF FM to perform conversion. But my output is having junk values( ie # ) for non-English characters. Any pointers to solve this issue will be appreciated.
I even tried with report RSTXPDFT4 , it also gives me the same junk characters.
Regards,
Navin.

Problem in converting spool to PDF file

Hi guys,
My spool contains Russian characters which are shown as one special char in pdf file. I guess the russian char. are not recognized by pdf.
I convert the spool to pdf using following FM
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF'
 EXPORTING
 src_spoolid = wa_spool-spool
 no_dialog = ' '
 IMPORTING
 pdf_bytecount = v_numbytes
 pdf_spoolid = v_pdfspoolid
 btc_jobname = v_jobname
 btc_jobcount = v_jobcount
 TABLES
 pdf = pdf.
Then i download the file using FM:
CALL FUNCTION 'WS_DOWNLOAD'
 EXPORTING
 bin_filesize = v_numbytes
 filename = v_return1
 filetype = 'BIN'
 TABLES
 data_tab = pdf
Help me....
Point will be rewarded on helpful answers.

Problem in converting spool to pdf

Hi Experts,
I want an internal table to be converted to the PDF. For this RSPO_OPEN_SPOOLREQUEST, RSPO_WRITE_SPOOLREQUEST and RSPO_CLOSE_SPOOLREQUEST to create the spool. However, somehow the table tsp01 does not gets updated as a result i could not convert the data to PDF. Can any one help me how this problem could be solved.
Thank.

Hi Prashant,
Thanks for your reply. Really it is very useful one.
In this, the output list is getting populated into spool and to pdf.
But my requirement sending the internal table contents to spool directly without dispalying in the output list.
I did the program like the above mentioned one already. But my requirement is not that one.

Fonts are defined in the template you use to generate the pdf. Your application add the data and both is processed yb the FOP processor. Now there are two possible causes of the '???' :
1. the data you sent to the template contains the '???' already
2. the template can't digest the data (the special characters) and puts '???' in the pdf.
Before going on you have to find out which one is your problem. The 2nd is the problem you better ask this in a FOP forum as you have to solve it by changing the template.

Problem while converting Spool to PDF

Hi,
I am sending ALV report output to Spool then converting the Spool to PDF using 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF'.
I am able to send the mail but in the PDF, the first page contains data statistics(no. of records passed) but I want to supress it. I need to get my Actual output only.
Please help me regarding this.
Thanks,
Swathi

You need to set the print parameter of the ALV to avoid the statistics in the Spool.
Like:
data: ls_prnt type slis_print_alv.
ls_prnt-NO_PRINT_LISTINFOS = 'X'.
call function 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
is_print = ls_prnt

Problem with files containing non-English characters

I wrote a program that traverses a directory for files of a given extension and then displays the absolutePath in a JList. Double-clicking on a filename will open it in the registered program. It works perfectly for English filenames. The problem is when I have other characters in the filename. For example, if I have a file titled "Mexico.txt" with an accented e, it shows up in the list with a block in place of the e. So the first problem is not being able to properly display the special characters. Next, if I double-click that file it sees the absolutePath as "m%3Fxico.txt" which I'm guessing is some sort of unicode encoding. Unfortunately, that encoding is not handled properly by the Runtime.getRuntime() method. I get a "file does not exist" error. All features work fine with English characters.
Any help with these issues is greatly appreciated.

Send mail as text/html (HTML enabled content) , Specify charset in the header part (GB23... or UTF-8)of HTML
Its easy,
I hope it would solve ur problem

Upload text files with non-english characters

I use an Apex page to upload text files. Then i retrieve the contents of files from wwv_flow_files.blob_content and convert them to varchar2 with utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2, but characters like ò, à, ù become garbage.
What could be the problem? Are characters lost when files are stored in wwv_flow_files or when i do the conversion?
Some other info:
* I see wwv_flow_files.DAD_CHARSET is set to "ascii", wwv_flow_files.FILE_CHARSET is null.
* Trying utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2( utl_raw.cast_to_raw('àòèù') ) returns 'àòèù' correctly;
* NLS_CHARACTERSET parameter is AL32UTF8 (not just english ASCII)

Naming files with non English characters.

I'm using filemaker to creat PDF's through Acrobat 10.1.12. I need to use Polish, Hungarian, Czech and Slovakian characters in the file name but the characters are not recognised and so the file name will not create. This is for Windows, the problem does not occur on a mac.

[AS] Problem with non English characters in file path

I wrote a script that exports a pdf file from ID, rasterizes it in PS, applies an action, saves it as another pdf file, and finally creates a Mail message, and attaches the file to it (the last part is written in AppleScript).
The problem is that it doesn't work when the path to this file contains non English characters.
This works:
make new attachment with properties {file name:"/Volumes/Macintosh HD/BackUp Tetard/Test.pdf"}
but this doesn't:
make new attachment with properties {file name:"/Volumes/Macintosh HD/BackUp Têtard /Test.pdf"}
I remember vaguely that I read somewhere that AppleScript can work with Unicode — in other words with such characters — starting from some version, don't remember which exactly, but it seems to me — Leopard.
I am on Mac OS X 10.4.11 right now. Will updating solve this problem? Does anybody know any solution to this problem: a scripting addition, some hidden setting, etc.
I made a little test: used a Russian character — ё and it works, but when I use — ê (Dutch) it doesn't. May it have something to do with the Region setting in International panel?
Thanks in advance,
Kasyan

Kasyan, as of Leopard AppleScript treats all text as Unicode pre this you can specify 'as Unicode text'. Try a test with these.
-- Leopard
set x to POSIX path of (path to desktop)
-- Pre Leopard
set x to POSIX path of (path to desktop as Unicode text)
-- Leopard
set x to POSIX path of (choose file without invisibles)
-- Pre Leopard
set x to POSIX path of ((choose file without invisibles) as Unicode text)

I am having a problem converting a scanned pdf file into Excel.

I am having a problem converting a scanned pdf file into Excel. I do not get the columns and rows to align, just a single column of everything. Any suggestions?

Export makes use of what is "in" a PDF.
Good export is the "silk purse" and, ya know, you canna make a silk purse from a sow's ear (which is what any scanned image in PDF is with regards to export).
The quality of export is dictated by the quality of the PDF. We are taking about the "inner essences" of the PDF (e.g., degree of compliance with the PDF Standard - ISO 32000-1).
So, what goes in goes out or "GIGO".
This has nothing to do with Acrobat or Acrobat's export process.
A well-formed Tagged PDF (compliant to ISO 32000-1 & ISO 14289-1, PDF/UA-1) provides a PDF that proactively
supports content export by Acrobat.
To get the good stuff from export you start with a well-formed Tagged PDF.
Goodstuff In — Goodstuff Out
or
Garbage In — Garbage Out
"GIGO"
Be well...

Problem in converting Spool Request into PDF format

Hi,
I am facing problem to convert spool request (which store output of sap script) in to PDF format. Actually I have converted it with function module 'CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF' and it is working properly but the problem occurs where the BOLD fonts are used. I am unable to see the Text/Address where i have used Bold Font in script (PDF FORMAT). Even though in (SPO1) spool request shows every thing perfectly (along with Bold Font). It will great if you could suggest me something.
Thanks,
Pradeep

Hi Pradeep,
Use ,
Closing the Sapscript, we save data (OTF) in a table
CALL FUNCTION 'CLOSE_FORM'
TABLES
otfdata = t_otfdata
EXCEPTIONS
unopened = 1
bad_pageformat_for_print = 2
send_error = 3
spool_error = 4
OTHERS = 5.
DATA: BEGIN OF t_otfdata2 OCCURS 0.
INCLUDE STRUCTURE solisti1.
DATA: END OF t_otfdata2.
Move OTF data to another table with lenght 255
LOOP AT t_otfdata.
CONCATENATE t_otfdata-tdprintcom t_otfdata-tdprintpar INTO t_otfdata2.
APPEND t_otfdata2.
ENDLOOP.
Convert OTF format to PDF
CALL FUNCTION 'SX_OBJECT_CONVERT_OTF_PDF'
EXPORTING
format_src = 'OTF'
format_dst = 'PDF'
devtype = 'PRINTER'
FUNCPARA =
len_in = len_in
IMPORTING
len_out = len_out
TABLES
content_in = t_otfdata2
content_out = t_pdfdata
EXCEPTIONS
err_conv_failed = 1
OTHERS = 2.
Have a look at Progs. RSTXPDF4 and RSTXPDFT2 for converting the Spool to PDF.
Regards,
Raj
