SAP Script Barcode Email

Former Member — Mon, 09 Sep 2013 14:01:44 GMT

Hi ,

I'm trying to output a Sales Order through Email (SAP Script with Barcode in it).

The print seems to give the barcode correctly.

But if I try to email, the same form is displaying the barcodes as a series of vertical lines

This does not resemble the barcode which I got from the printout.

Can some one please let me know, if I'm missing something here ?

Thanks in advance

Anil

Hi,

Try converting your SAPScript to PDF then mail. that should represent the barcode properly.

Cheers,

Hi Arindam,

Thanks for your quick reply .

I have tried that too...but no joy

I'm using the FM : CONVERT_OTF to convert the OTF format to PDF format .

Still it prints the same way

Any ideas please .

Thnx

Anil

Hi,

Try CONVERT_OTF_TO_PDF. Also most common issue is the font and how it is interpreted. Check the font you have used. There are lots of articles and discussion on similar issues. Check the link below to review your steps.

If I remember the problem of conversion of barcode to pdf led many companies to convert their forms from Sapscript to Smart Forms. Look at OSS there are some that describe this problem (Start at Note 430887 - PDF conversion: bar codes are not supported or Note 1557674 - Overview of bar code printing from SAP)

Nope...this is not working. I find no change in the output..

Also, I'm using the Std Barcodes, font familys ,etc

I'm not sure , if it is the font issue , since the printout is working correctly on a AFP printer

Any ideas ?

Thnx

Hi,

Then Smartforms usage would be the way forward i think. SAPScript has its own set of limitations.
