Summary :
The SAP Note describes the enhanced functionality of the CONVERT_OTF module for converting SAPscript and Smart Forms documents into PDFs using Unicode device types in SAP systems. Starting with Release 710 and applicable for earlier versions (620/640/700) with specific Support Packages, this functionality ensures that PDFs accurately reflect various languages. Prerequisites include having an SAP Unicode system (Release 620 or higher), certain Support Packages, kernel patches from Note 873239, and Truetype fonts installed as per the RSTXPDF2UC report. Device types like ZSWINCF and PDFUC are suggested, while Unicode PCL5 device types are discouraged due to font compatibility issues.
