Mirrored & reverse arabic text in smartform

[mawasey03]

Hi

In Smartform i have mixed text (English & Arabic) when i check print preview i see Arabic text reversed & when i print Arabic text is reversed as well as each Arabic word shows as broken letters.

I even tried using control param language as 'A' but this is resulting in no output .

Thanks

If your question is about some unexpected space added at random places, it's due to font defined in the Smart Form which is not defined for the printer (SPAD), or font metrics not available in SE73 (SAP wrongly thinks the Smart Form font is not available in the printer and does a workaround to position as best as it can). This was asked in the forum already, and not specific to Arabic.

If your question is about combining English and Arabic, this is also explained in the forum and you can find the limitations and workarounds.

In both cases, I think SAP has published notes. You can search the note numbers in the forum.

Hi Sandra

there is no problem in SPAD or any font metrics,ther is another smartform similar to this smartform and it is printing Arabic properly.

I tried to add control params & Composer param with below syntaxt as well but still same result.

ls_control_param-langu = 'A'.
ls_composer_param-tdnoprint = ''.
