Designing Forms with the Form Builder 

 

Purpose

You can use this process to create or edit a PDF-based form. You can also edit a migrated Smart Form.

 

Prerequisites

You have installed Adobe Designer on your front end.

Adobe Designer is installed with the SAP front end.

 

Process Flow

To create a form, you use the Form Builder that is integrated with the ABAP Workbench.

 

       1.      You create a form object.

       2.      In the interface, you define where the data comes from that you want to display in the form. To do this, you call the interface function in the Form Builder.

       3.      You activate the interface.

       4.      In the context in the Form Builder, you drag and drop the required parameters from the interface you have defined. You can also insert texts, graphics, and addresses.

       5.      In the layout function in the Form Builder, you create the layout. You use this graphical tool to design the printed appearance of the form, and drag and drop data from the form context you have defined.

       6.      You activate form.

 

Result

You have created a function module that encapsulates the form description. You can use an application program that collects the relevant data to call this function module. You then have a PDF-based document for mass printing in SAP systems.
