ADS and Interactive Forms

[Former Member]

Hello - I am very new to this topic and wanted to post this question here

Could someone please differentiate for me what the therms Adobe Interactive Forms.........and Adobe Document Services (ADS) mean/imply?

I am aware ADS is something that comes in as part of a standard NW AS JAVA installation (and can be used after going thru all the involved configuration).....but not clear how or if this is different than what folks are calling Adobe Interactive Forms.

Thanks in advance

Hi Ben,

I am not sure if i am the right person to answer this question. Generally

Adobe Document Services (ADS) enable form-based processing of business data triggered by both ABAP- and Java-based applications. This must be set up first before you can process / display any adobe form in SAP.
