SAPscript Form/Smart Form /PDF-Based Form 

Definition

Depending on the form type, either a Smart Form, a SAPscript form, or a PDF-based form is defined in the attributes of an application form. The form contains all relevant layout information (for example, pages, windows, paragraph formats) for preparation of the form to be printed.

Use

The application form and the related SAPscript, Smart Form, or PDF-based form are reconciled with one another during the print transaction. The application form controls the print transaction. This means that the data is read and the program interfaces of the layout tool are called for the events defined. The interfaces between the application form and the form used depend on the type of form and must be reconciled with one another.
