Report printing in Greek characters after changing Font

Hi All,
We had a bunch of reports created in 'Courier New' font whose output type is PDF. The users wanted the reports to print in 'Arial' font. When I changed the same from Courier New to Arial and ran the report , the report is printing in Greek characters instead of English. I initially thought that it prints in Greek may be because of insufficient space or something for the text fields but there seems to be sufficient spaces to print characters. I tried reducing the size and still the reports prints in Greek in lower size.
Can anyone let me know how to get rid of this?
Thanks,
Srini.

See if the solution in the following thread applies to you:

HP 6510 printing only blank pages after changing print cartridges

Hi,
My HP 6510 is printing only blank pages after I installed new print ink cartridges. I tried cleaning the print heads, aligning the printer... which did result in some pages printing with a little color (but it seemed "off" to me). That said, when I try to print a regular document from my PC it only prints a blank page.
I can't seem to figure this one out on my own - please help!
Thanks!
Chloe

The document here may help resolve black not printing on your Photosmart 6510. Be sure the cartridges are vented as shown in solution two.
Is your printer still in warranty? You can check with HP's warranty tool here.

HP Printer doesn't work after changing computers

After a recent change to a new ASUS computer running Windows 7, I cannot get the Deskjet to print. It was working perfectly before the changeover. I have downloaded HP Print and Scan Doctor. I am told that the driver is already in the Windows 7 software, however the Doctor reports that " the full software solution for your product is not installed on this computer".
I have tried disconnecting and reconnecting the USB link, but with no success. (he USB cable is linked via a cord-mounted
25 pinDIP connector to the Deskjet.
It seems that no communication is happening between computer and printer.
I'd much appreciate some helpful comment!
Thanks
Rodney

Thank you for your question re my DeskJet710C printing problem.
Yes there is a problem listed in my Device Manager Universal Serial Bus Controllers.
It mentions an Unknown Device with Port_#0002.Hub_#0004. It says no driver files are loaded or have been required for this device. I have tried changing this Port to 0001 without success.
There is a similar port called USB Printing Support listed with the Device Manager, giving a Driver File:
C:\Windows\System 32\DRIVERS\usbprint.sys ..... but this doesn't seem to exist on my current system.
I have tried downloading it from the net, but without success - I guess it needs installing on the Registry (?).
Should I use something like RegCure to get this installed?
Many thanks
Rodney

Strange non-english glyphs/letters appearing after changing font

Hi, hope you can help me... I am in InDesign CS5.5 using Universal Type Client, and working in Garamond. When I changed the font to Bembo, several letters would substitute for single characters. They look Russian or something. Any thoughts? Thanks!

What characters? Is it possible you are looking at ligatures in Bembo that don't exist in your Garamond. There are a lot of Garamonds out there, and I would suspect that many of the older, non-unicode, versions don't have ligatures. The same might apply to the Bembo, of course, but if you are going from an old Type 1 font to a new OpenType font, you might easily see ligatures suddenly appear.

Printing of asian characters after ECC 5.0 / unicode upgrade

Does anyone know what do we need to do in order to print documents in asian languages. We have upgraded to ECC5.0/unicode.

I solved my issue as follows.
Here are 4 options I analyzed, you may chose one that best fits your needs.
We chose option 1.1
1.1     PRINTER UPGRADE/REPLACEMENT
This is a h/w based solution. This option requires certain compliant models of the printers and installation of special font card to that printer. It provides faster response times since the fonts dont have to be sent across the network. Although there are less number of fonts available compared to other options, they are sufficient to cover major world languages.
1.2     SAPLPD/SAP SPRINT
This is a s/w service running on a NT Box, also known as Frontend printing. This decentralizes printing landscape from Unix (our SAP instances are on unix) to windows based printing and would require changes to printng support procedure in our landscape.
1.3     OMS
Using a Output Management System ( OMS) such as HP OMS or VPSX ( using a plugin such as Impulse for Double Byte printing).   This is full-fledge output management solution but requires additional resources and capital investment and is suited for organization with significant(sometimes complex) output needs that need to be carefully managed.
1.4     PDF
Convert SAP output to pdf and send the pdf file with fonts embedded inside it to printer. Requires ABAP resource and uncertainty over whether all the different types of output can be converted to pdf besides the pdf printing will add network overhead and cause slowness affecting other processes.May be something for future since SAP is collaborating with adobe on forms/output delivery.

BI Reports printing in BI 7 after exporting to pdf

Hi all,
I have an issue with regard to prinitng the Reports in BI 7 after we do the export to pdf format.
the users want to combine all the reports into one PDF file when printing?
If so, is there any such standard functionality in BW or else what could be done to achieve this.
pls advise...
thanks in advance
Neel

Hi,
what about creating one webtemplate with several webitems "webtemplate".
So you can execute each report, but can print ~20 webtemplates via the master template to one pdf file.
Kind regards,
Tobias

Are you refreshing before setting prompts?

SapsScript Header is printed on all pages after change

Hello Experts,
I have made some changes to a sapscript. I added some output data to the header and expanded the lines by 3 LN. Now when I print the header is printed on all pages, but I only want it to be printed on the first... Any idea what could have done this?
best regards B

Hi,
The problem occurred because you have changed the variable window and what ever is mentioned in the variable window gets triggered when a new page gets triggered.
So.....
Change the Header lines what you have added, to main window from the variable window.
This will definitely solve the problem.

10G Reports Hyperlink has strange characters after domain address

To all,
I have a 10G Report that uses a BeforeParamForm trigger to build a parameter called "START_URL".
When the BeforeParamForm trigger ends the parameter START_URL contains the value:
http://SEPAP33:80/reports/rwservlet?omst1
I am using this parameter so that I don't have to hard-code the domain address on the Hyperlink line of the field property.
On the Paper Layout I have a Field called 'Premise' that has the Hyperlink property filled in as:
:start_url+report=e:/apps/oms/premise_outage_detail.rdf+desformat=pdf+paramform=no+p_sdate=&sdate+p_edate=&edate+p_premise=&premise_id
When the report executes it should set the Hyperlink line to look like this: http://SEPAP33:80/reports/rwservlet/?omst1
report=e:/apps/oms/premise_outage_detail.rdfdesformat=pdf+paramform=no+p_sdate=01-jan-07+p_edate=01-aug-2007+p_premise=97
Unfortunately when the report runs the first section looks like this:
http://SEPAP33:80/reports/rwservlet/getfile/HWnZXZIgVBOPS/RLkg==/+report=...(the rest is correct)
Does anybody know what is causing this Hyperlink to be built improperly with "getfile/HWnZXZIgVBOPS/RLkg==" in there? I have used SRW.MESSAGE to output the :Start_URL and it is correct.
I have also tried using SRW.set_hyperlink in the format trigger. The wrong URL value also comes up this way.
Thanks,
Troy

Hello,
The URL :
http://SEPAP33:80/reports/rwservlet/getfile/HWnZXZIgVBOPS/RLkg==/
is a typical URL added by the Reports servlet in the BASE HREF tag.

Double sided printing, adding blank page after two different groups

Post Author: adepper
CA Forum: General
I have created a report that is structured as such:
Group 1 - Based on formula, groups by type
Group 2 - Based on formula, groups by use
Group 3 - use (pulled directly from Database)
Group 4 - ID
I have the report printing an extra page after group 3. I used this formula in the Section Expert - New Page After
remainder(pagenumber,2)=0
I also use that formula to reset the page number
What I would like to do is print a second blank page if group 2 does not start on the top of the page, meaning I do not want either group 3 or group 2 to start on the back of a page, so that this report can be placed in a binder, with dividers.
I have group 3 giving me a blank page with no issues, it is just group 2.
Any help and/or suggestions would be appreciated. If I did not give enough details, I am sorry.
Thanks!

After a lot of blood, sweat and tears, not to mention a lot of curse words directed at the computer, I was able to get this to work. Now I just have to do it for three groupings instead of two (deliver the impossible to your bosses, and they turn around and move the brass ring right out of reach again!)
In case anyone is interested in how I was able to manage this (I found many sites where people asked this question, but not one complete answer), this is what I did:
In the footer section:
Group 4 - ID (database field)
Group 3 - PrimeUse (database field)
    3a - Contains data
    3b - Contains data
    3c - New Page After, Keep Together, and Reset Page Number After are all checked. In the condition for Reset Page Number After I also have this formula:
    remainder(pagenumber,2)=0
    3d - New Page After, Keep Together, and Reset Page Number After are all checked. In the condition for New Page After I have this formula:
    remainder(pagenumber,2)=0
Group 2 - Suppressed
Group 1 - Grouped by Store Type -
    1a - Suppressed, New Page After and Keep Together are all checked.
    1b - New Page After and Keep Together are checked. In the condition for New Page After I have to following formula:
    remainder(totalpagecount,2)=1
If anyone sees any errors, or if you think you can get it so that I get another page blank, after Group 1, if the Group starts on an even numbered page, I would appreciate the help.
Thanks!

Can we change font size and font type in reports

Hi All Technical/Functional Masters,
We are developing some transactional reports in ISU. this report has 20 columns to be printed. On screen, display is not a problem but client has a requirement to download this report in PDF format and wants to print on A4-paper in Landscape. Although we have managed to accommodate all the columns on A4 paper but have to compromise with font size that are very small and not visible. If we download the report in excel format we are able to maintain the font size 8 and accommodate all columns after little format but same in PDF is a problem.
Can anyone tell whether we can increase the font size and change font type(from SAP standard to 'Arial') before sending the output in PDF ? Is there any property or utility that can be changed or used for this purpose.

CHANGING FONTS(SIZE/NAME) IN CHARACTAR MODE REPORT(URGENT)

I have problem with Character Mode Report. Can I change Font Name, Size and other charcterstics of a character mode report?
If Yes, How?
How to change the settings of Character Mode Report (like orientation etc)

You need to create two printer definition files, one for landscape and one for protrait which set the width/height of the page.
Changing fonmts needs to be done by knowing the escape characters that printer uses and set in the layout triggers for the item.

I want to know how to use print-controls in ABAP-simple reports for changing font size & cpi for headings and then detail list should be with different font & cpi.
please help with example.

Hi Vinayak,
Just use the command PRINT-CONTROL CPI <characters per inch> and PRINT-CONTROL FONT <fontname> to switch from CPI and Font wherever you like.

Report printing issue after upgrading from LV 8.2 to LV 2009

Hello,
I am upgrading an application from LabView 8.2 to LabView 2009. It uses the Report Generation Toolkit to create reports based on Word templates. The reports are pretty complicated, with a lot of bookmarks, tables, and graphs, but only one page long.
The reports are generated correctly. However when sent to printing (using Print report.vi), the printer goes into spooling status and if you are patient enough you may get the report after at least 7 minutes. I tried changing the printer setting to "Print directly to the printer", as per an old KnowledgeBase article. No luck. I have installed a local printer. No luck again.
If I close the LabView application while the printer is shown in spooling status, the report prints right away, every time.
Never had this issue in LabView 8.2. On that machine I had Office XP. Now I have Office 2007...
I do not get any error whatsoever, and I cannot figure out where the solution may be.
I have one single report that prints right away every time I try. Coincidence or not, this is the only one that has no tables to print. It has graph though and plenty of bookmarks.
I have exhausted all the ideas on how to deal with this situation, and I must find a solution ASAP. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Brandon,
Thanks for your input.
Not sure how I can use it to narrow down the problem though. I ran it, and I see that the printers are correctly identified, the default one is correctly found, however absolutely nothing is being printed out (I typed a text in the string control, and the Print control was on).
Everything runs with no errors. I would prefer to see a bunch of errors ...
