Converting SMART FORMS to Adobe Interactive Forms

Fellow Netizens,

Welcome to my first blog!

Here I give the steps to convert an existing SMART FORM to Adobe Interactive Form.

1. Navigate to tcode - SMARTFORMS

2. Under Menu, Utilities -> Migration -> Interactive Form -> Export.






3. Enter the source smart form name and the target Interactive form and interface name.









That pretty much sums it up.

PS: Adobe Forms are poised to be the standard forms for SAP in the near future. It is highly suggested that all forms development be done using the Adobe Forms technology.

    Still its not possible to replace smart forms or script with adobe forms.. becoz adobe forms do not support to following requirement.
    PDF-based forms do not support cover sheets; anything entered in the appropriate fields in the interface is ignored.

    Program lines that depend on a layout condition (current page = 1) or on a layout-specific event (page break). Example: Changing a global variable that is dependent on the current page number.

    Usage of the output formats XSF, XDF, or HTML

    Conditions within a template if they influence the assignment of rows or cells

    Usage of SAP characters (<123>)

    Formatting in text nodes that differs from the XHTML subset determined by Adobe (formatting that cannot be converted is lost during migration)

    Combination of data-specific output conditions (table control on Conditions tab page) and conditions with times (“only after the main window has been completed”, for example)

    Linking output-specific conditions (SFSY-PAGE > 10, for example) and data-specific output conditions with ODER to nodes that are displayed in the layout (with the exception of text modules, includes, graphics, addresses, and loops)

    Template cells whose formatting is interrupted by the formatting of other cells (text1 in cell 1-1, text2 in cell 1-2, text3 in cell 1-1)

    Complex sections

    Conditions Only Before End of Main Window, Only After End of Main Window, and Only on Page... in the main window

    Summation that takes into account reference fields (currency, for example)

    Page counter

    Copies and final windows, including their properties

    Minimum height of a table

    Sort events in tables

    Calculations in tables

    Printer control sequences in command nodes

    Bar codes

    Field formatting options

    Links and URLs that are returned as text
