1. What is SAP Adobe Forms?

Ans:

PDF stands for Portable Document Format. Definition: It is a Universal file format developed by Adobe that preserves all the fonts, formatting, graphics, and color of any source document, regardless of the application and platform used to create it.

2. What are components of SAP Script?

Ans:

Layout Set, Form, Print Program, Function Modules

3. What are components of a Layout Set?

Ans:

Header Data, Page,Page Windows, Windows, Paragraph Format, Character Format.

4. What are SAP Smart Forms?

Ans:

SAP Smart Forms is used to create and maintain forms for mass printing in SAP Systems.As output medium SAP Smart Forms support a printer, a fax, e-mail, or the Internet (by using the generated XML output). SAP introduced SmartForms in 1998 to overcome the limitations in SAP Scripts

5. What Is The Difference Between A ‘Database Index’ And A ‘Match Code’?

Ans:

Database index	Match code
Database Index’ contains fields from one table.	Match Code Contains fields from several tables. Match code objects can be built on cluster tables, transparent tables and pooled tables.

6. What is an interactive form?

Ans:

An interactive form is a data-gathering window containing multiple questions that interactively change based on user input. In other words, a user’s response to one question may cause one or more additional questions to be added to the window.

7. How to display a logo dynamically in the SAP Adobe Formss?

Ans:

To display a logo dynamically, we will have to upload it first into SAP using transaction SE78. This transaction will store this logo internally into a table “stxbitmaps”.After uploading the logo we will have to create an interface and we will define two global variables there. Let’s say V1 type XSTRING and V2 type STRING (default value ‘image\bmp’). In the Code initialization section we will have to write a simple query to fetch the logo from the table above by providing the log name. Then we will have to call a method cl_ssf_xsf_utilities=>get_bds_graphic_as_bmp and pass on tdobject, tdname, did and td data fetched from the query. This method is going to return a XSTRING type variable which we will move to the global variable V1 defined already.

After this step we have to create a Form and assign the interface created above to it. In the right side pane under the context tab, we have to create a graphic node. Select the graphic node and in the properties section make the Graphic Type as Graphic Content. Save it and drag V1 (from the left pane under the Global Data node) to the Field property of the Graphic and V2 (from the left pane under the Global Data node) to the MIME Type property of the form. Under the Layout tab create an image field and bind it with a graphic node created. Save and activate. Execute the form. This will display an image dynamically.

8. What needs to be done to convert the static text in the form layout to a different language?

Ans:

• Go to transaction code SFP.
• Enter your form name and hit display.
• Now go to menu Goto -> Translation.
• Give Original Language as EN and Target Language as whatever language you want to convert the static text into and hit enter.
• You will find two objects TLGS and PDFB.
• Double click on the form under the PDFB tag.
• Go to menu Utilities -> Expand Tags.
• You will find vertically cascaded windows for source text and target text.
• Under the target text press copy source text button. This will copy everything defined as static text in the layout to target text.
• Now here we can convert the text into the respective language.
• Once done, save and activate the changes.
• Come out and execute the form in whatever language you want. Make sure to input the language in the LA field of /1BCDWB/DOCPARAMS input table.
• Execute and see the output.

Ans:

• Suppose you want to display a particular text module in case the language you pass is EN in the input parameter. For this follow the steps below

• Go to transaction SFP and create a form.
• In the context tab, create a Text and assign a Text Module to it (created under smartforms transaction) under its properties.
• Click on the conditions button and add a row using + button. Give the Import parameter name as EX_LANGU (language parameter in my example) under first OPERAND and ‘EN’ under second OPERAND.
• SAP SAP Adobe Formss
• Save and activate the form.
• Execute it by passing EN as a language parameter. This time the text module will be displayed. If you execute it by passing FR as a language parameter, the text module won’t display on the form output this time.

23. Types of Form layout

Ans:

Live Cycle Designer offers two types of form layout techniques for you to work with:

Static layout : These forms have fixed layouts. When presented to the end user, the form retains its original layout, regardless of the amount of data available to fill the form.

Dynamic layout : A form with a dynamic layout is designed to expand or shrink according to the amount of data available to fill it.

24. What’s in a form design?

Every form design contains at least one master page that Live Cycle Designer creates automatically. Master pages define the orientation and dimensions of body pages. Master pages are responsible for formatting body pages. Provide a background and layout format for more than one of the body pages in a form design. Each master page is created with a default content area that covers the whole page.

26. What are body pages in form design?

Ans:

• Body pages represent the pages of a form.
• Each body page derives its page size and orientation from a master page.

54. What are the different methods of passing data?

Ans:

Calling by reference: a subroutine call, only the address of the actual parameter is transferred to the formal parameters. The formal parameter has no memory of its own, and we work with the field of the calling program within the subroutine. If we change the formal parameter, the field contents in the calling program also change.

Calling by value: During a subroutine call, the formal parameters are created as copies of the actual parameters. The formal parameters have a memory of their own. Changes to the formal parameters have no effect on the actual parameters.

Call by value and result: Similar to pass by value, but the contents of new memory are copied back into the original memory before returning.

55. What is the difference between the function module and the external subroutine?

Section design is utilized for organizing a passage; we can include tabs in this. We can use character arrangement in passage organization. Character design is being used for allotting different characteristics of textual style (estimate, type, active).

75. What are the several techniques for passing information?

Ans:

Calling by orientation: During a subroutine demand, just the report of the real parameter is exchanged to the recognized settings. The formal setting has no reminiscence of its individual, and we labor with the arena of the vocation program to secret the subroutine. On the off chance that we alter the formal structure, the field substance in the vocation program likewise fluctuates.

Calling by esteem: During a subroutine request, the formal limits are made as replacements of the specific parameters. The official settings have a memory. Vicissitudes to the default parameters have no impact on the real parameters.

Call by esteem and consequence: Alike to go by esteem. However, the substance of the new reminiscence is replicated again into the first memory before recurring.

76. What are parts of SAP Script?

Ans:

Design Set, Form, Print Program, Function Modules.

77. Are SAP Scripts customers needy or free?

Ans:

Standard contents are customer free Client characterized substances are customer subordinate.

78. What is a bolt action?

Ans:

To synchronize access to a few clients utilizing the same information Lock objects are being used.

79. What is the contrast between the capacity module and the outside subroutine?

Ans:

Table work territories are not joined between the capacity module and vocation program while subroutine utilizes the divided same work zone. We can leave a volume module using the Elevation statement, whereas checkered, exit, or stops are used to issue a subroutine. The capacity module has an excellent interface to characterize strictures, whereas subroutine doesn’t have.
