Strange characters when activating smartform (######)

Hi all,
im having a problem with long text´s and smartforms, and I've done a simple smartform with a simple text saying Hello World and when im activating the samrtform my text transforms in
Hello World#######################.
The Number of '#' is increases when i activate....
Iv tried to change the output page format and styles but the problem remains
Any suggestions ?
Thank and regards
Luis Constantino

Hi,
Please check whether there are spaces entered after the text because the printer would convert sometimes the spaces into #s.
Also check the printer with which you are trying to check the output.
Regards,
Ram

Strange characters when sending messages in Mail 2.1.2

When sending messages from Mail 2.1.2 , some of the recipients get strange characters when opening my messages
I use a french keyboard with ponctuations that appears to the recipients as black diamond with ponctuation marks in the middle.
Is it something from my end?

Here is some info on the problem. Sending plain text instead of rich text is the easiest thing to try.

Strange characters when copy/paste from Word

Hi,
I have in Word u2018hellou2019 and when I paste it in the Notes of IR and save it, it turns into 018hello 019 so the apostrophes transform into these strange characters.
I checked with Notepad, Excel and Wordpad and this issue does not occur, only for Word.
Do you know why this happens ?
It should be a Word/IE setting as this issue does not occur on a Terminal Server. Only on usersu2019
workstations.
Thank you

Hi Shiva,
Some styles for font of rich text aren't be kept when I copy the content from Word 2013 and paste into a wiki page from SharePoint 2010/2013(even SharePoint 2007 like this
post) site as same as yours, it looks like a limitation.
As a workaround, we can publish the Word content as a Blog article in SharePoint site, then copy the content from the blog page to the needed SharePoint page, it will keep the rich text content format, you can have a try.

Strange characters when converting

when converting to PDF off the web i get strange characters that convert

Can you be a bit more specific what you mean "convert off the web"?
Are you using ExportPDF or Acrobat for this?

Strange characters when writing files

I've made a program using a FileWriter. The program is coded and compiled on a Linux PC. I'm using the filewriter to dynamically write HTML-lines. I use "\r" to write returns. On my Linux PC and on my Windows XP sp2 laptop it works fine. On the PC of a friend it does not work correctly. It sees the "\r" as an unknown character. The browser also comments on that (illegal character). She also has Windows XP sp 2 installed running explorer 6. What could be the solution for this problem? Should I recompile on my friends PC? It is strange though. We use the same Java version (1.5).

I don't know why you aren't using a print writer (with a println) method.
Regardless with text files you will always find that they will render correctly on one system and not another because different systems have different line seperators and some software is pretty crappy when it comes to display and gets it's knickers in a knot when it sees line seperators it doesn't like. i.e. Notepad.

Strange characters when printing

Hello.

Smartform translations deleted when activating smartform

I made some changes to a particular smartform. Problem is that when i activate these changes, all translations (done via SE63) are deleted. Is there any way to prevent this, cause i don't feel like translating the smartform every time i change something?
thank you.

Hi souji,
Example: If you want to translate smartform then steps are:
Step1 :
T/Code > Smartform>Global Settings -->genreal attributes Tab > Set flag (Radio Button)transaltionTo all languages/ Restricted languages
Please set this flag.
STEP2:
Translation:
Use T/code SE63>Translation(Menubar)>R3 enterprise> Other Long Texts>select " SSF"-->Enter Smartform name and from language and destination language.
STEP3:
Transporting translations :
Please execute the following program for transporting translations : RS_LXE_RECORD_TORDER
Target language = * or Target transalation lang.
Object type = SSF
Then Press Create Transport Request button. Create Request.
Then include all your translations to that request.
I hope this will solve ur problem.
Please check & Let me know.
Regards,
Raj.

Strange characters when receiving mail in mail.app

Hi,
I am having an issue with certain e-mails in mail.app cannot be read due to very strange charachers.
I have already seen that problem with entourage and it's just the matter of deleting a font cache but here I cannot seem to get around it..
Any idea someone?
Cheers
Ben

Sometimes these problems are caused by the fonts Times Phonetic and Helvetica Fractions. Delete them if you have them.
Or it could be an encoding issue. Send a screen shot if you want (tom at bluesky dot org).

i get strange characters when printing PDF files , sometimes the whole document and somethimes an part
when i try to print 1 page a time it often comes out ok but not always

Hi mamae,
Looks like your Adobe program needs to be updated or reinstalled. Is this issue only appearing when you try to print PDFs? How about from Word processing programs like MS Word or Excel?
If you have garbled text characters as well with your other programs, you also need to reinstall the printer drivers on your computer. When this happens on the USB connection, usually I had the cable replaced and that fixes it.
You can also check this article - Continuous Pages of Strange or Garbled Characters Print in Windows
Here's the Full Feature SW download for: Windows XP or Windows XP x64
Hope this works for you!

Google search displays strange characters before search, firefox 3.6.7, ubuntu 10.04

I get these strange characters when I go to Google search using Firefox 3.6.7 and Ubuntu 10.04.......see below
ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎣᏲᎲᎢᎠᏑᏰᏍᏗ ᏳᏍᏗ ᎠᏁᎵᏔᏅ (These characters are on the Google search page before I search and below search bar.
strange characters below:
ᎾᏍᎩᏯᎢ Directory ᏚᎾᏓᏡᎬ
What is going on....It reads OK using Chromium. I can't read anything. I am using Firefox 3.6.7. My View....character encoding is set to :
Western(ISO-8859-1) and auto detect "on"
== ?

Just to update this topic if anyone else has the issue. I've fixed it by manually amending the following setting in about:config -
Preference name: intl.accept_languages
Value: en-gb, en
If you're in the US you'd use ''en-us, en'' instead.
I then re-ran Firefox Sync and now on the Windows machines this value shows up as User Defined instead of default and this is now kept when syncing (I'm assuming the default values are not included when syncing preferences, for obvious reasons).

Waiting the best solution to strange characters for non-latin songs?

I've tried to find a solution to the "Strange Characters" when importing songs with non-latin characters (I'm fan of greek music)... I`ve changed the ID3 tags to 2.4 and nothing happened...should I wait for the upgrade?

On re-reading and following your directions, I really should have given you 10 pts. for that answer, Tom, and not 5. I'd somehow misunderstood the glyph view, thinking it was only a matrix of a certain standard, limited set of symbols, like arrow dingbats and such. I see the way it works now, and it's quite practical.
Thanks very much.

E75 - Strange character when sending e-mail

Hi,
I have a Nokia e75 that sends strange characters when sending swedish e-mail.
This was sent:
Jag skickade ingen inbjudan till dej, men kollar så att den är kvar.
This was recived:
Jag skickade ingen inbjudan till dej,men jag kollar sÃ¥ att den Ã¤r kvar.
Whats wrong?
- For your info this e-mail account is a company e-mail with exchange.
Thx
Christoffer

The e-mails that you send from your E75 are already encoded with UTF-8 (at least if they contain non-ASCII characters).
The problem is either being cause by an incorrectly set e-mail server (not likely), or by the e-mail client (or web browser) that you're using to read the message.
I've just tested sending an e-mail from my E75 (using an ovi account with Nokia Messaging) containing various non-ASCII characters (ä, ö, ñ, etc.) two different accounts (one of them was read using Lotus Notes, the other is a webmail account), and both display everything correctly.
If you can, send yourself an e-mail containing swedish letters to an e-mail account where you can view the e-mail in "source" form, and check if you see the following lines in the header:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
If you don't see exactly that, please look for lines in the header that begin with "Content" and post them here!
It may help also if you post details of how you are reading the e-mail (webmail, and if so, which browser; or an e-mail client, and if so, which; operating system, language of OS, etc.)
Good luck.

When i print a pdf from preview it prints strange characters - it looks fine on screen

when i print a pdf from preview it prints strange characters - it looks fine on screen

You can also try opening the PDF with preview, then doing a copy and paste to TextEdit and printing from there.
Adobe makes it easier, but you do have software to accomplish this.
Only download Adobe reader from this site, to avoid "fakes/spoofs/malware" that will cause damage to your machine.

Strange characters inserted when I create a PDF

I am using Acrobat 11, Windows 7, PC. Someone sent me a Word Document file and when I create a PDF from it, there are questions marks inserted in many places. The original word doc has charts inserted as "pictures". This is where the strange characters are occurring. Regular text is fine. A colleague created a PDF using an earlier version of Acrobat and it worked fine.

I have figured out that I was not creating the PDF correctly (was doing it through Windows instead of Adobe). Now that I am doing it correctly (using the Adobe tab when I'm in the word doc, then clicking Create Adobe PDF), the chart does not have the questions marks anymore but it is NOT as crisp and clean as it should be. Text is blurred, lines in chart are faded or missing in some spots. In the word doc the chart is crisp and clear.
Of note: The charts that have been inserted into the document using my Windows 7 PC are fine when PDF'd. The chart that is in question was I believe created on a Mac. That shouldn't matter in my book but unfortunately sometimes it does.
Any help would be much appreciated!

How to display more than 132 characters in a smartform

Hi Experts,
I am reading notes/text entries by calling read_text and then passing them in a variable. I want to display the notes. But even after declaring the variable as LINE2048, it is displaying only 255characters as output length in smartform.

          wa_final-account_note = v_accountnote.

         ENDIF.
On the smartformm side, under main window->loop->text(to display the variables).
How to display more than 255 characters in a smartform.
Regards,
Sangeeta.

why the heck would you use read_text when you want to print a text/note on a form?
in SAP-Script we use the "INCLUDE"-Statement for this.
and in smartforms a Text-node of type 'I'.
you can not write all in one line and expect the system to handle this like a floating text.
one character takes a cretain amount of space (varying for different characters and font and font sizes).
you Page has a certain width, so where is the miracle in the thesis that on a sheet of paper with a certain width just a certain amount of characters will fit?
