Adobe Form Overview

Adobe Form is an interactive form in PDF that allow user to fill out the form in screen and save  entries in XML format in the form. When the SAP system receives the form, it extract the data saved in the form and can process further.

The forms are composed of Master Pages and Body Pages.

Context:
  • The text include module cannot refer to an import, it only can refer to a global variable.

What’s in the form design?
The following components make up a form design:
  1. Master pages: Provides the layout and format for pages in the form.
The Master Pages defines the global elements as Header/footer/pages/format/orientation…
The master pages contains « Content Area ».
This content area will take the Body Pages. It can be resized

In general we create only 1 master page except in the case we have many formats or orientation
  1. Body pages: Represent the page of a form. You can choose which master page to assign to the body page. Header, Item detail, Footer are defined in body page.
  2. Content areas
  3. Subforms: Container that you can use to group design objects such as fields, images, address etc. You can set the properties of subform, it will then apply to all objects within the subform.
  4. Fields
  5. Boilerplate objects
    1. Text Field (Text with caption - caption can be translated to different languages by Edit → Translation)
      1. You can remove the caption in the text field is changing its caption position to none using Layout tab of the object properties window.
    2. Text: Display only text
    3. Floating Field

Palettes
  1. Hierarchy palettes is a visual presentation of the contents in body pages and master pages tabs. The palettes also display objects added to the form under the object node.
  2. Data View palettes is a visualization to provide a way of mapping data from context to the form. You can drag & drop fields from Data View to the form.
