smartfomrs to PDF conversion error

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

I have a requirement to convert smart forms to PDF.

After converting smartforms to PDF, I am getting the following errors.

1. Special signs like u201C&u201D, are shown as <& > in PDF.

2. Some line breaks which are in smartforms are not appearing in the PDF.

(How to handle the same during smartforms to PDF)

Thanks in Advance.

Hi,

in more than once I´ve experimented the same problem. What I do is to replace the text in my form:

REPLACE ALL OCCURENCES OF '>'   IN aux_text WITH '"'.
REPLACE ALL OCCURENCES OF '<'   IN aux_text WITH '"'.

you can insert a line break like this:

CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF

but in both cases you must set a break point in your form where the text is processed to find out what´s wrong. It could be that system cannot understand some characters as HTML escape code. This is the case in web development when working with text boxes.
