Issue with Czech characters in PDFs generated from RSTXPDFT4

715 Views

Hi,

We have a requirement to generate PDF documents from the spool of the Billing document outputs in our project.

For this we are using the standard program RSTXPDFT4, which converts the SAP script OTF to PDF format.

But the Czech characters in the billing document output are not getting displayed in the PDF generated out of it.

We are already using a device type I2HP4 when creating the print request , which supports Latin-2 Character set ( ISO 8859-2 ),to which the special characters of East European languages belong.

Even then , the czech characters are not getting displayed in the PDF generated.

We have raised a message to SAP for this, and SAP informed us that currently the only solution to this is to use Latin 2 soft fonts, and asked us to upload these soft fonts into R/3 System using report RSTXPDF2 as they contain the Eastern European special characters plus all the other characters in ISO 8859-2.

But, since character font definitions (font files) are protected by copyrights, SAP informed us that they cannot provide these font files and we have to acquire

these latin-2 font files by searching in search engines in the internet.

If anyone has the information where we can get these "Adobe type 1 Latin-2" font files with '.PFB' extension, for the proper display of Czech characters in the PDFs generated out of R/3, please let me know.
