Interactive Adobe Form

[Former Member]

Hi Friends, I have few doubts on Adobe Forms.

1.) Are Interactive Adobe forms different from Adobe Print Forms ?

2.) What is Adobe Life Cycle Designer ? What is its use ?

3.) What is the difference between Adobe Designer and Using transaction

SFP ?

4.) After designing the interface and form in SFP how to display these forms ?

Do we have to build any Driver Program ?

I am new to Adobe Forms. I want to learn Adobe Forms using ABAP.

Can anyone let me know any inks tht can help me out. ?

Hi,

1. Yes Adobe Print Forms are different from interactive forms. For Interactive forms you need licenses, refer to the SAP notes on IF licenses.

2. Adobe Lifecycle designer is a s/w that is used to design the Interactive forms and do the required scripting

3. You can design forms using both ALD & SFP (ABAP)

4. You may deploy the forms on WAS and access it through Portal or circulate the forms through emails offline.
