Extending SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe

This procedure describes the general steps for creating extension points for an Adobe Interactive Form. The usual scenario is that you create an extension point in your composite application (product) and then ship it to your customers. Afterwards, the customers create extensions in their composite applications (products).

To create an extension point, you need to have Web Dynpro development components (DCs) in your workspace.
