Hello Rama,

Adobe forms are different than Smart form or smart forms converted to PDF. They are much flexible then samrt form and more over Interface used in a PDF form are reusable i.e. interface can be used by multiple PDF forms to get the data from Driver Program.

Please see the below links for more detailed view

Hi,

Generally Adobe forms are 2 types.

1. Print forms.(Using SFP tcode)

2. interactive forms.(it is prefferable to do interactive forms in WEBDYNPRO for abap)

For Print forms:

goto 'SFP' transation and create interface first. In that interface declare all your import and export parameters. If u open that screen you can find some mor details.

Next create form and while creating that form assign this newly created interface.

Driver program.

use below FM's

FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME: for getting the adobe form function module name 'XXX'

FP_JOB_OPEN: opening the form.

call that fm which got in above step 'XXX'.

FP_JOB_CLOSE: closing the form.

Thanks,

suma.
