Adobe forms special characters

[dieter_vanderdonckt]

Hi experts,

I need to print special characters on an Adobe form.

There is no problem putting the characters on the form at design time.

However after rendering the form on the ADS server, these characters are replaced by others.

The form's default locale is set to 'Viewer's system locale' (but i also tried other locales).

When calling the form the docparams are set to (but i also tried other parameters).

ls_docparams-langu = 'N'

ls_docparams-country = 'BE'.

I assume the problem is located on the ADS server ?

What should i do to solve this problem ?
Thanks for any help.

Hi Dieter

You can try one solution.

Create text object using Transaction code SO10.Cretae text object with special characters.

In your form label make use of this text object binding.

Then I think your special character should be displayed in the form as per it's design.

Thanks,

Neha, thanks for your reply.

We are printing the same documents in multiple languages (depending of the user, company, supplier or customer language).

We use trx SM30 table TTDTG for translating standard text objects (form labels).

We use trx SO10 for translating long text objects (multiple line text).

In both cases the translated text is read correctly in the form interface.

The data is mapped from the form interface to the form context and then binded on the form text objects.

Only after rendering the form on ADS, some (extended ascii) characters are replaced by invalid characters.Therefore i think the problem must be located on the ADS server.
