SAP supports Adobe LiveCycle Designer as standard as the layout editor for form templates. You must install this software on your PC and make settings for Adobe Document Services.
Availability
SAP supports integration of the Adobe layout technology in the ABAP development environment (Form Builder and ABAP Workbench) and in the Java development environment (SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio).
Adobe Document Services run on the Java stack of SAP Web Application Server. Therefore, you must install this stack independently of the application development environment.
SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe
The Adobe-based form processing (SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe) enables you to create and use interactive forms and output forms. Users need Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat on their PC to display and complete the PDF forms.
