[Dave Leon]

Not having the Java stack installed on ERP prevents use of Adobe LiveCycle
Designer . . .  right?

> Well the short answer is  NO - YUCK - WHY?

> And the long answer is that SmartForms are being superseded with Adobe
> print forms across SAP.
> So that even where SmartForms exist often there is a newer Adobe equivalent
> now available, and generally SAP has committed
> to replacing all of these print forms with Adobe forms.
>
> It might be more helpful if you tell us your concerns?
>
> 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.
> It's a WYSIWYG editor and fairly straightforward.
>
> 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.

> 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.

> Hope that helps.
