Reg: SAP Adobe form size restrictions

[Former Member]

Hi Geeks,

Could anybody explain me about the memory restriction in sap adobe offline forms. Presently the form size is around 670kb with 3 pages. There is plan to expand this to 26 pages with 670kb * 8 .Will there be any performance issue in this case?

Hi Kumar,

Are you talking about interactive or non interactive forms...?

I have worked on Non interactive (output statements) which dynamically generated 400 pages it was a bit slow took @ 3 minutes but since its a background process which generated it, really doesn't matter.

In IAF i am working on a dyanmic form which is 40 pages i.e, @ 3 MB this is pretty bad performance to me.

So in your case if its a statement genration or any output form it should not bother much.

Cheers,

Hi Kumar,

For sure your form would be @ 5 MB and it would be a performance issue.

Since the entire file has to be processed between ECC & ADS systems you can see the processing time and its hectic.

but I have a doubt, your 3 pages file is @ 670KB..? is it any complex one...?

Well there is a bug in ADLC 8.2.X version where it keeps on adding <?templateDesigner StyleID aped3?> this tag redundantly every time you edit the form, especially when you copy paste elements with in the form. check if there is something like this in your form just in case.

The solution for this bug is Manually delete all the entries leave one for occurance. (alternatively if you search in adobe forms you can find a parser which deletes these redundant entries.)

Then upgared to latest ADLC or have respective patch.

Cheers,

Sai.

Thank you sai for your prompt reply. The form in not complex and consumes less than 1 MB when saved in local.Hope it wont cause any memory issue in production.
