The only way to print text vertically in SMARTFORMS is to place each character on it's own line or in a specific window or template that has been created to hold one character--as in the following example:

E

x

a

m

p

l

e

Adobe printforms on SAP (t-code SFP) can rotate your text if you're on a system that has been setup for that.

If, by "inverted", you mean upside-down then the only way to do this in SMARTFORMS, that I know of, is to create an image of your information upside-down and include that as an image in your SMARTFORM where needed (not recommended). If you have to pull the information in dynamically for this issue then this approach will not work. There are bar codes that can be inverted (upside-down) in SMARTFORMS but that was not your question--just thought I would mention that.

if the text is not fix you can do the following and you want to display text rotated by 90° try the following:

1. Upload bitmaps for every letter of the alphabet and name it accordingly a.bmp, b.bmp, etc.

2. Add some coding to split the text you want to display into a table

3. loop the table and display the images

Not nice, but works 😉
