Jetform is a 3rd party product to create Form outside SAP. Previously it was a product of Accelio Company but in April 2002, Adobe Systems acquired Accelio (formerly JetForm). So now it is called Adobe form.

For information regarding the Adobe Output Pak for SAP (formerly known as JetForm Output Pak for SAP) see the Adobe web site:

http://www.adobe.com/products/server/outputpaksap/main.html

and

http://www.adobe.com/support/forums/main.html (-> Output Server or -> Output Designer)

Mainly Jetform uses sapscriptu2019s RDI (Raw data interface) interface to send the data from SAP to it (but now it supports Smart formu2019s XML (XSF) interface also, so I guess we can transfer data from smartform as well). From SAP the data comes out in the form of RDI, and the sapscripts have to be set to print to RDI. This is then sent to a specific server set on the sapscript, with details of the end printer. Jetform then processes this data into a more reasonable format, and then processes this against the Jetform. The result is then sent to the printer. But to create the FORM, Jetform requires modifying the BASE sapscript FORM to implement a proprietary format that is specific to a JetForm solution. This format is ASCII based and as it is in an ASCII format, an additional visual building tool is required within JetForms to rebuild a FORM layout.

Hope this info. will help u.

Hi,

From SAP the data comes out in the form of RDI, the sapscripts have to be set to print to RDI.

This is then sent to a specific server set on the sapscript, with details of the end printer.

Jetform then processes this data into a more reasonable format, and then processes this against the jetform.

The result is then sent to the printer.
