Summary :
SAP users experiencing issues converting SAPscript or Smart Forms documents to PDF with missing Turkish characters from the ISO 8859-9 set (e.g., Idot, Scedilla) can resolve this by using specific device types (I9HP4, I9SWIN) and importing soft fonts via the RSTXPDF2 report. This technique involves embedding complete Turkish character font definitions into the PDF, significantly increasing file size. Important to note, the embedded fonts must be correctly licensed, as they are usually copyrighted. Detailed instructions include creating new font families and using appropriate Microsoft Core Fonts as substitutes to ensure accurate Turkish text representation in PDFs.
