SmartForms Vs Adobe Forms for output

Hello Everyone,
I have a question. When configuring output in CRM 7.0 what are the advantages/disadvantages vis-a-vis smartforms and adobe forms?
Appreciate your input and answers.
Thanks
B P

Hi,
the output of adobe forms can be archived directly as PDF:
The smartform has to be converted to PDF before archive - but this is also possible.
It is more like a strategy-question of your company. In our company all forms in CRM are created as Adobe PDF.
On remark to licences: As long as you do not use interactive PDF there is no additional license for Adobe Forms.
Kind regards
Manfred

Hi,
Looks like this question conveys it as a interview one, this is purely requirement I got to do this activity.
We have all other components include Hyperion Planning, HFR, FDQM, Essbase, EPMA. I can perform migrations of these components , only stuck with DRM as I am not sure how to achieve that. I have gone through DRM Installation guide and few posts in forum, it is suggested to use Migration utility.
Can you please share any other approach how to do this?
1) Metadata export
2) Mapping to EPMA dimension tables
3) Security
I hope, I am clear with my requirement this time.
Best Regard, UB

Adobe form to replace smartform in SRM 7

Hello,
We are in the process of utilizing the adobe server for form processing in our SRM 7 environment. In SRM 5.0 we have some custom Z smartforms for SRM documents. I am having the following questions:
1) What are the steps to do a "smoke test" to make sure the adobe server is working as it should?
2) Is there a graceful way of transforming the smartforms into adobe forms without re-designing them?
3) What are the steps to configure the system so that the it prints adobe form instead of the smartforms? (I have read note 1264423. It doesn't seem to have too many details.)
4) If adobe form would be exclusively used in SRM 7, is BADI BBP_OUTPUT_CHANGE_SF still relevant or should we deactivate it?
Thanks.

I think my question has been answered by this help:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/c8/4adf7ba13c4ac1b4600d4df15f8b84/frameset.htm
What I didn't realize is this:
By migrating Smart Forms, you can reuse them as PDF-based print forms. You can find the Smart Form migration tool in transaction SMARTFORMS.
I have tried the migration tool. It did convert the old smartform to the new form/interface, but not without many errors. But at least we know that we don't have to start from scratch.

Regarding Migration to Adobe Forms

Hi Friends
 I am working on adobe print forms.
I have one doubt that is If SAP itself providing the option migrate smartform to Adobe Interactive form, what's the necessity to create the forms from scratch i.e why we have to create Interface,Context and Forms.
Is we get any flwas by simply migrating the smartform to adobe interactive form?
Please anyone explain me?
Points are assured for useful ansers.
Regards,
Sree

yes u can convert smartform into pdf. follow these steps.
1. first call your smart form as u do.
e.g. CALL FUNCTION '/1BCDWB/SF00000127'
in this just activate these two also
 IMPORTING
 DOCUMENT_OUTPUT_INFO = it_tab1
and this internal table (it_tab1) it will store the data of smart form.
2. then call fm to convert it_tab1 data into pdf.
call convert_otf
and in this fm just pass it_tab1.
EXPORTING
 format = 'DOC'
IMPORTING
 bin_filesize = v_pdf_len
TABLES
 otf = it_tab1
 lines = pdf_table
EXCEPTIONS
 err_max_linewidth = 1
 err_format = 2
 err_conv_not_possible = 3
 err_bad_otf = 4
 OTHERS = 5.
3. now u can save this fm on your local system.
second method
apart from allowing sap to convert your smart form to pdf u can also do it by downloading two software files
and then install it in your local system.
links for those files are.
http://www.pdf995.com/download.html
and download pdf printer driver from here
after that goto printer setup and make PDF995 as default printer.
and finally when your smart form is ready to print just click on print button then as your default printer is pdf995 it will convert your smartform into pdf and that u can save it in your system.
plz reward point .

Smart form to Adobe form migration Log errors

Hi Guys,
I tried to migrate a smartform to adobe form, but I encountered issues in the created migration log.
I am new to Adobe forms, I'm hoping that you could help me correct these issues...
Below are the errors encoutnered:
ERROR1:
- "Field SFSY-PAGE is unknown. it is neither in one of the specified tables nor defined in the DATA statement.
(this looks like a declaration problem, I checked the left pane (system fields) SFSY is declared, this is being used instead of SFPSY because I am using smartforms compatible interface.
ERROR2:
- "TLINE" is not an internal table "OCCURS n" specification is missing.
(I also checked TLINE declarations, everything is declared by the system during convertion.. not sure where to put the proper declaration to address this issue)
ERROR3:
-"VBDPR" is neither specified under "TABLES" nor is it defined as an internal table.
(This one is coded in the smartform exactly same with the migrated adobe form. Another data declaration issue, how can this be done in adobe forms?)
ERROR4:
-Field ITEMS5-POSEX has a conversion routine (see SAP Note 796755) --> I will check this note and let you know
All syntax errors are under the context tab, inside the node source code was generated after the convertion and created the tab program lines.
ERROR1: Code
v_finalpage = v_counterpage + sfsy-page
ERROR2: Code
* Read the sales orders text
PERFORM read_salestxt TABLES tline
USING 'Y032'
v_text
'VBBK'.
ERROR3: Code
LOOP AT vbdpr WHERE....
I explained the issue the best way I can, hope this is enough to give you the idea..please provide feedback on this.
Rgds,
Jeffbroodwar
Edited by: Jeffbroodwar on Mar 23, 2011 2:12 PM

Hi All,
Just incase others encounter this (new to migration) please see the answers below:
ERROR1: SFSY - in my code, this was used to create the form pages. in ADOBE forms, we can use the ready objects inside
the layout designer (just drag and drop page n of m just look for it in the objects palette.
ERRORS2 to 3: Tables, I used type table as reference (create in SE11) and declared it in my interface as reference for my tables that have errors (change ref --> LIKE to TYPE then replace the table used in smartform with the newly created type table.
ERROR4: Just see sapnote. just change the data type to avoid errors in calculation.
Hope this will help.
Thanks,
Jeffbroodwar

Standard sapscript form migration to adobe form

Hello guys,
Is it possible to migrate standard SAP Script forms to adobe forms?
If yes then please let me know how ?

Hi,
It is possible, but not simple.
You first have to migrate the SAPscript to Smartforms, then the Smartform to adobe forms. However, there are significant differences between the way SAPscript works compared to Smartforms so there are always manual changes needed after the migration. Then there are differences between Smartforms and adobe forms, so more manual changes are needed.
Once you've done all this it could have been easier to build an adobe form from scratch, based on the design of you SAPscript.

Nick

Merging Smartform Output and Adobe Form Output in a single PDF File

Hi All,
My Requirement is as follows -
I have multiple Smartforms and a single Adobe Form.
I want to merge the Smartform Outputs and Adobe Form output in a single PDF.
I am able to merge multiple Smartform Output in a PDF , but not able to find any way to merge smartform and adobe form output as the Smartform output is in OTF Format and Adobe form output is in PDF Format itself.
I have tried few ways , but could not find any success.
Request you all to give me some direction to this problem.
Thanks & Regards
Bhavika

Kumar,
I am afraid this is not possible using SAP functionality. There are probably 3rd party tools which allow you to merge several PDFs into one, but SAP itself does not offer such a mechanism. There is an internal SAP function, though, which can merge several "parts" (=several PDFs) within an Adobe-created spool request into a single PDF, intended for downloading this PDF from SP01.
This is described in note 1717357.
Best regards,
Alexander

Advantages of adobe forms over sapscripts and smartforms.

Good day ,
Can anyone pls mention atleast 2 to 3 major differences between sapscripts,smartforms and adobe forms?
I want to know wat r the drawbacks in each n how we rectified it in adobe forms.Are there any disadvantages in adobe forms??
Awaiting your reply,
Thanks,
Deepthi.

Hi Martina,
SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe offer you the following business advantages:
1. Interactive functions automate the creation of data for SAP systems
2. Full integration into the SAP development environments for Java and ABAP
3. User-friendly tools reduce the time and costs associated with creating form layouts.
4. The usage of the PDF format means that forms retain their appearance regardless of the environment they are used in.
Moreover,
SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe offer the following basic functions:
1. Create form templates for the layout that include logos or pictures
2. Generate documents by merging form templates and current system data
3. Edit forms online or offline
4. Forms can be filled in advance automatically with specific data from SAP applications and then sent to the correct recipients using secure methods
5. Automatic consistency checks for forms
6. Activate enhanced functions such as comments
7. Digital signatures and form certification
8. Send completed forms to the SAP application with automatic updates of the business data
There are not any disadvantages in adobe forms as such except the value help is not present but that could be done after a little coding.
Reward if useful.

Vaibhav Tiwari.

Migrating SAP Scripts to Adobe Forms

Hi All,
   We are going for a new Rollout in US based on our European implementation in 2001 which was on
   4.6b. Eventually this system was upgrated to ECC 6.0 recently however all the outputs are still using
   SAP Scripts.
   For the new Rollout in the US, we are planning to migrate all these outputs to Adobe Forms. Does
   anyone know if there is an easy way to migrate Scripts to Adobe Forms or else the migration is more
   or less like fresh development.
   Please share your experiences/knowledge if anyone has worked similarly. Thank you all.
Regards,
Vamsee

Hi,
migration from script to adobe is a big problem.
dont go for that.
many problems will come after migration, the time to take rectification is more than the development directly.
Thank U
