Hi Naveen,

For printing Arabic characters, the system must be unicode enabled.

Also you should use the font type ANDALE_J in your styles. If we use some other font types you will not be able to see the output.

Hope this helps

Hi Naveen,

R u loging in EN language? (this is not required for Unicode systems though). The print preview and printing is also based on the printer drivers. Please check your printer uses I6SWIN this as the device type(driver). If this is not used please change the device type to the above in SPAD transaction.

I am facing exactly the same problem with printing arabic text in samrtforms. I guess you the Device type in the printer settings would be set to either ARSWIN. Try changing it to I6SWIN and it should work to some extent. The arabic words should come up correctly in the print ( not in print preview). However it would print # in the start and end of the form. This is not acceptable in my case and I am still looking for a better solution. See if it helps you in some way.
