1. Print Forms: This type of usage involves in generation of reports, some confirmation pages and receipts. We can save them locally and can be directly submitted to the printer.

Based on the user selections the data is loaded dynamically into the context at runtime based on some prescribed process.
3. Non-Interactive / Offline Forms:  Users will download the form and save them in their PC. When they are out of network they fill out the form and uploads the filled form from PC to SAP when they are back into the network. This saves the time for the users.
In addition to this i need the confirmation like,

hi Manjunath ,
in simple words:
1. Interactive forms
       Users complete the form (online/offline)
       Select options online to submit the form data to a predefined process
       Optional Support for data validations
2. Non-interactive forms
       Designed to present information to end users

3. Print and fill forms
      End user opens and prints the form
