Summary :
The SAP Note discusses how to ensure Arabic script is supported in PDF files generated using the CONVERT_OTF function. It specifies that Unicode systems are necessary for Arabic support and outlines the use of specific TrueType fonts with report RSTXPDF2 to embed Arabic characters correctly. For optimal results, it recommends using the "Courier New" font due to its comprehensive coverage and compatibility with Arabic glyphs needed for PDF conversion. Key prerequisites include setting the language key to AR and using device types ARSWIN/ZARSWIN, or LEXUTF8/HPUTF8 with limitations on character connectivity. Additionally, specific font families like ANDALE_x are required in SAPscript or Smart Forms.
