Define Actions for Document Output - Activate / link std. Interactive Forms

Question

Hello,
The transactions 'Actions for Document Output' help tells me the following:
If the processing type External Communication is used for document output using SAP Interactive Forms, the following configuration needs to be done:
SRM Document (Action Profile)      Form Name            Format
Purchase Order (BBP_PD_PO)      BBP_PO_ADB       BBP_PO_ADB_PRN
The interactive forms are available in our SRM system. Still up on searching the forms for f.e. the Purchase Order definition it can not be found. Only smartforms are listed. How come?
Has the setting in transaction 'PDF-based Forms for SAP ERP' -> 'Activate PDF-Based Forms' got anything to do with this?
Kind regards,
Tim

Hi Jay,
I tried searching for it where you should link the form with the BUS object.
Following path (PO): Cross-Application Basic Settings -> Set Output Actions and Output Format ->  Define Actions for Document Output -> Action Profile: BBP_PD_PO -> Tab: Processing Types -> Smart Forms Print -> Search for Form doesn't include the Interactive forms.
I just realised: I need to add a new entry 'External Communication', would this entry be applicable for all communication methods? Thus fax + print + e-mail? And how did you go about setting it up, i suppose adding an 'external communication' entry next to the smartform entries in the std. SAP BBP_PO would be double (system wouldn't know which 1 to choose).
Kind regards,
Tim
