SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe – Introduction
Application Area – BC
Overview
SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe is the lastest form technology which is rendered by SAP and Adobe. It aims to automate and streamline forms-based communication to support customers who create reusable forms for their business processes. This solution uses Portable Document Format (PDF) and software from Adobe Systems Inc. that has been integrated into the SAP environment.
You can create interactive forms in PDF format that allow users to fill out the form on the screen and save their entries in XML format in the form. When the SAP system receives the PDF form, it extracts the data saved in the form, and can process it further. You can also merge a form template with current system data to generate a PDF document that can then be printed or sent by e-mail. If the form is not interactive, it can also be called PDF-Based Print Forms.
