3. In scripts we can print background logo while in smartforms we cant print background logo

4. In scripts we have 99 main windows while in smartforms we have only 1 main window.

5. In scripts we should write paragraph format otherwise we cant execute program while in smartforms no need to create paragraph formats .

6. In scripts we can print the text in only two character formats.

while in smartforms we can do with more.
