Can't display Japanese currency symbol (￥）in PDF output of smartforms

[lucy_gray2]

Hi Experts,

I am developing a couple of smartforms & one of the requirements is to display Yen ( ¥ ) symbol before displaying the total amount.

In print preview it is displaying properly, but if i download this form into Pdf then it shows as #.

Kindly suggest me how display this symbol in PDF.

Thanks in advance,

Lucy

Hello,

Goto your text Editor and go to change editor -> now where you have placed Yen ( ¥ ), remove this text .

From above Menu bar you can find the  INSERT  ->CHARACTERS -> DISPLAY CHARACTERS .

Select Yen ( ¥ ) form there

Hope this will solve your problem .

Stay Awesome

Hi Romit,

Thanks for your response but unfortunately the method suggested by you didn't work.

But I would like to share a way I found, to get around this issue.

Hope this helps others facing the same issue.

Go to the below link and copy the Yen symbol available here.(If you look closely, it is a bit different from the ones we type using our keyboard.)

Type euro symbol, pound symbol, cent symbol, yen symbol, and other currency symbols online

Now set this symbol to a variable like:

GV_YEN = '¥'.

Finally, just input this variable in the text editor instead of directly typing/pasting this symbol.

&GV_YEN&&GV_AMOUNT&

Best Regards,

Lucy

Hello Lucy,

I think you can try cascading font device type SWINCF or PDFUC if the system is Unicode system.
See SAP note 812821.
