Generation of PDF Forms Without Tags 

Use

Applications that do not require accessible forms can improve runtime performance by creating PDF forms without tags. PDF forms generated in this way need less memory. A PDF file with tags, however, uses them to describe and flag the document structure, including elements such as headers, texts, and tables. They are a requirement for the generation of accessible PDFs. Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader tells you whether your PDF document has tags.

You cannot use the function described here if you want your PDF forms to be accessible.

Check your requirements in advance, especially the applicable legal requirements.

 

Features

You can use the PDFTAGGED field in the IE_OUTPUTPARAMS parameter (type SFPOUTPUTPARAMS; function module FP_JOB_OPEN) to define whether PDF forms are generated with or without tags.

Activities

Set the PDFTAGGED field to your requirements in your application program and send it to the function module FP_JOB_OPEN.
