I'm using a template to try to nicely align all of the "totals" of the document.

enter image description here

  • A style has been created and is set to "right"
  • The information is text elements combined with variables
  • The variables have been checked to make sure there are no spaces

In the print preview from SAP it seems to be going OK.

However, when I print it out on paper it's adding it's own padding or margin.

enter image description here

I'm not sure where this is coming from or why it's being formatted this way. I've also tried taking the text and placing it in a type STRING but that produces the same result.

What code I've tried:

Attempt #1) Text Includes

  • Subtotal
  • &DISCOUNT_TEXT&
  • Total &CURRENCY& Excl. Tax
  • &TAXPERCENT&% Tax
  • Total &CURRENCY& Incl. Tax

&DISCOUNT_TEXT& = String

&CURRENCY& = WAERK

&TAXPERCENT& = Integer

Attempt #2) String literals

test_text-subtotal = 'Subtotal'.
test_text-discount = &discount_text&.
test_text-excltax = `Total ` && currency && ` Excl. Tax`.
test_text-taxpercent = taxpercent && `% Tax`.
test_text-incltax = `Total ` && currency && ` Incl. Tax`.

  • Please add the images to the question as inline images - and please also add the code (text including symbols) that is used to actually produce the output. – vwegert Feb 18 '15 at 10:33
  • I have to have at least 10 reputation to include images, and I wanted to link more images but I also have to have 10 reputation to include more than 2. In either case, I'll edit the post to include what I've tried. – Bryan Abrams Feb 18 '15 at 10:40
  • Just to let you know, I can't reproduce the issue here. Are you using a custom printer driver / device type? – vwegert Feb 18 '15 at 11:31
  • No, I get the same result when printing it to a PDF. even weirder then typing it in without any variables it produces a similar effect but different positions. I'm going to attempt to just recreate the entire template. – Bryan Abrams Feb 18 '15 at 11:39
  • @vwegert which font did you use to attempt to reproduce it? Recreating the template didn't work and only produced the same misalignment. It's a customer delivered font, so I'm assuming it probably has to do with that. – Bryan Abrams Feb 18 '15 at 13:21
  • Probably it's impossible to align those lines ideally as variable can adopt any value – Suncatcher Dec 17 '19 at 06:46

It is usually because of your printer settings. I faced this issue before. You got no choice other than setting your alignments based on the printer output.
