<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">Hi Gokselin, </font></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"></font></span> </div>
<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">Well the short answer is NO - YUCK - WHY?</font></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"></font></span> </div>
<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">And the long answer is that SmartForms are being superseded with Adobe print forms across SAP. </font></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">So that even where SmartForms exist often there is a newer Adobe equivalent now available, and generally SAP has committed</font></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">to replacing all of these print forms with Adobe forms. </font></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"></font></span> </div>
<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">It might be more helpful if you tell us your concerns?</font></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"></font></span> </div>
<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">If it's a skills issue then you would be well advised to learn Adobe LiveCycle Designer, given the number of forms now produced that way. </font></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">It's a WYSIWYG editor and fairly straightforward.</font></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"></font></span> </div>
<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">If you have licence concerns, these only apply where Adobe forms are used in Interactive mode - i.e. where a user starts a form, enters data against a form and submits the form, usually triggering a workflow. Smartforms NEVER had this capability. There are no licence issues around Adobe forms used in print mode.</font></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"></font></span> </div>
<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">If it's an issue of "where do I put my code exits" you need to understand the options in your application area. Yes it's true you don't put code against parts of the form in the same way as you did SmartForms, but this is only because use of Adobe print forms enforces a better separation of business logic and UI. There are always a number of options available - such as in the initialization section of the form interface, or in the calling program, or by using wizards or Javascripts in the form design to achieve similar features. So look at the examples and read the doco for your area. </font></span></div>
