PDF-Based Print Form 

Definition

A PDF-based print form is a form designed for mass printing in SAP systems. It has the standard Portable Document Format (PDF).

 

Use

PDF-based print forms can be used for the following:

·        Order confirmations

·        Invoices

·        Account statements

·        Checks

·        Salary statements

·        Delivery notes

·        Customs forms

·        Industry-specific forms, such as quality forms in the automotive industry

 

Structure

A PDF-base print form has the following attributes:

·        A form interface that sends the application data to the form.

·        A form context that contains the form logic. This logic controls the dynamic formatting of the form. For example, it enables variable fields to be displayed; it specifies that certain texts appear only under certain conditions (one text for a first warning and a different text for a second warning); and it can specify that invoice items can be processed repeatedly in a table.

·        A layout. In the layout, you define how the output data is positioned, its appearance in graphics, and the design of the pages.
