Sap Interactive Forms by Adobe

SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe is the new standard technology for (print) output, especially for the design of interactive forms from an SAP system. It is based on the mainstream Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). Interactive forms can be integrated in all electronic business processes and workflows on the basis of SAP NetWeaver. This compatibility has many advantages: Personalized, electronic forms generated from SAP applications can be provided for customers and employees. Data recorded via these forms can be transferred back directly to the SAP system, which avoids time-consuming and costly data transfers as well as transmission errors through manual data entries. Forms can be customized to the specific requirements of a company or an industry – much more individually than used to be possible with SAP Smart Forms. E-forms have the familiar look of the paper forms they replace. Comprehensive security functions (for example digital signatures) ensure that the right information gets to the right person, and that alterations to the forms can only be executed by authorized persons.Due to the multitude of potential data sources, the heterogeneity of application scenarios and implemented technologies, the various possibilities to design forms, embedded scripts in forms, etc., many users have gaps of knowledge concerning a basic understanding of SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe. This book fills these gaps.
