Adobe form usage

Former Member

Hi,

Can anybody tell me the difference between sapscript, smartforms and Adobe interactive forms in terms of their usage. What are the benifits of using Adobe forms, can we do the same thing with sapscript and smart forms. Sapscript and smart forms are only for displaying the results. Can u enter the data in Adobe forms? Pls tell me the simple steps to create Adobe forms. Can we convert our existing reports to Adobe Forms, like we can convert ALV reports to SapScript.

Is there any thing to be installed on client machine or server to use Adobe forms.

Thanks,

hi,

my understanding and experiences of adobe

Advantage

1. it can display true color picture;

smartform can only display 256 color;

2. the data inside pdf can be extracted as xml string;

3. it can run javascipt at runtime;

4. easy to use, almost the same as design a smartform;

5. digital siganutre and other security features

disadvantage:

1. performance , especially for masive printing;

i am very excited about this solution in general.

hey sal,

a quick search in SDN would not have made you post this

some pointers -> <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/interactiveforms">Adobe forms page in SDN</a>

Go through the FAQ session at the right to get the answers :).

I sugggest you to read this <a href="/people/markus.meisl/blog/2006/12/22/a-pdf-form-or-not-a-pdf-form--that-is-the-often-the-question if you are more confused .

Search before you post :D.

Wish you good time searching (in this forum and also SDN as a whole )

Thanks and Regards,

Anto
