Title

Managing soft fonts for PDF conversion

Purpose

You use this report to manage font files (soft fonts) that are required in the R/3 System when you convert SAPscript documents into the PDF format (Adobe Acrobat Format). RSTXPDF2 allows you to
- list fonts
- load fonts from the frontend PC and read their attributes
- load fonts from the frontend PC and upload them into the R/3 System
- delete fonts.

Integration

Prerequisites

If you want to import a font file, the file must exist in the format "Adobe Type 1 Fontfile for Windows PC". Normally, these files have the extension ".PFB", that is, "CRR35__I.PFB".

Fonts in TrueType format are currently not supported.

Features

Selection

When importing a font file using the RSTXPDF2 report, you must identify the SAPscript font type for which the font file is to be used during PDF conversion. To do this, you use the parameters

• SAP font family

• Font attribute BOLD

• Font attribute ITALIC

The "Use font character set" parameter has been added for Release 4.6C: You use this flag to control how the characters of this font type that are used in R/3 are to be interpreted.
This flag is switched off by default. In this case, the PDF converter controls the coding (called font encoding) of the characters of the font type. For example, if, in the R/3 character set, the character "adieresis" ("Ä") is in binary position 196 (hexadecimal: C4), the coding of this character in the PDF file created by the converter is also preset to 196 for the soft font imported. The PDV converter overwrites the coding contained in the soft font file with a coding that is suitable for the R/3 character set.
If this flag is switched off, the coding (encoding) contained in the font file is adopted unchanged. You are recommended to switch off this flag for "special fonts" that do not contain normal printable characters, but graphical symbols. You must also switch off this flag if the imported font file contains characters that are unknown in the R/3 character list (transaction SPAD, "SAP character set"). .

The SAP code page parameter is currently not evaluated and therefore without meaning.
