PDF-based forms are created in an original language. When you use the appropriate tools to translate forms, all texts are translated from the interface, the context, and the layout. When you process forms in another language (referred to here as the target language), the fonts used in the layout are retained. However, if a font does not support all characters in the target language, the system replaces these characters automatically with suitable replacement fonts. This function also gives you the option of setting a default font or fonts to be used as a replacement in forms. You make the required settings in the table FPFONTREPL.
You can specify replacement fonts for forms that have been created and translated in ABAP systems. The settings are cross-client settings.
· To edit the table FPFONTREPL, you require administrator authorization.
· The fonts you want to use must be installed for Adobe document services. For more information, see Adobe Document Services - Configuration.
To define replacement fonts, edit the table FPFONTREPL in the Data Browser (transaction SE16).

1. Under Name of Form Object, enter the form name. You can do this in the following ways:
¡ You can define replacement fonts for specific forms. To do this, enter the name of the form.
¡ You can define replacement fonts for all forms in the system. In this case, you enter a wildcard character * in the table under Name of Form Object.
2. Under Language, enter the target language in which the form and the replacement font or fonts are displayed.
Remember that the form is only displayed in the target language if this is specified for form calls in the field LANGU of the import parameter /1BCDWB/DOCPARAMS of the generated function module.
3. Under Source Font, specify the font in the original form.
4. Under Target Font, enter the font that you want to replace the source font with.
For the Japanese version of the form FP_name, you want to use the character set MS MINCHO instead of Times New Roman. To do this, you make the following settings in FPFONTREPL:
