SAP Smartform totals misalignment

Question

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

• 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.

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`. 

Answer 1

Are you using Word as editor? if so, switch to the old sapscript editor and check the paragraph styles again. I think I see that the TAXPERCENT line is not in bold, so it could be a different style.

Answer 2

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.
