Hi,

Advanteages of Adobe Forms.

Advantages over Smart Forms/SAPscript

&#149; PDF is a de-facto standard for forms in the Web

&#149; Adobe LiveCycle Designer as an easy to use, flexible tool for designing

forms

&#149; Adobe LiveCycle Designer is fully integrated into the SAP's IDEs: SAP

NetWeaver Development Studio (Java) and ABAP Workbench

&#149; Graphics (BMP, JPEG, GIF, PNG, EXIF) can be included into forms directly

&#150; no conversion required

&#149; Objects (including texts) can be rotated

&#149; Different page orientations (landscape, portrait) are possible within one form

&#149; Graphical elements can be included in forms

&#149; Forms can be created so that they conform to accessibility standards

&#149; Complex layout elements can be shared between form developers

&#149; Existing PDF or Word documents can be imported

&#149; TrueType Fonts can be used; installation requires no upload

&#149; Barcodes can be printed on all printers of types Postscript, PCL, PDF, or

Zebra

&#149; Mailing and faxing is easier

&#149; Forms are regular Repository objects with standard transport and versioning

&#149; Interactive scenarios and integration into browser-based applications are

possible (Web Dynpro for Java or ABAP)
