Hi,

Whenever you execute an adobe form there is an corresponding function module that is generated but it happens only in online print forms not offline.

I heard that, if we activate the form then the FM will get generated. After every run the FM just called. Correct me if I wrong.

Its not like that , you are right that once we activate the form function module is generated but everytime the FM will not be generated by same name. There can be possibility that a FM is generated with different name during executing the form.

That is the reason why you will not see any hardcoding of form name anywhere in case of smartform and adobe form.
