PDF-Based Print Forms with SAP S/4HANA

This course explains how to create PDF-Based Print Forms with SAP S/4HANA.
These are the possible ways of using those forms: The classical approach (valid for SAP S/4HANA On-Premise and for SAP ERP):
In this classical approach "Adobe LiveCycle Designer for SAP" is being included in SAP GUI. To pass the actual data to the Print Form at runtime an own data retrieval program can be created. With this approach it is possible to create own print scenarios from scratch. It is also possible to adapt scenarios delivered by SAP.
Apart from this, there is the cloud-ready approach that works as well with On-Premise installations:
This newer approach uses "Adobe LiveCycle Designer for SAP" as a standalone client to develop Form Templates. These templates need to be uploaded to the backend system afterwards. The data retrieval is done via a Gateway Service. It is not intended to create own output scenarios from scratch but rather to adopt existing SAP scenarios. This includes the adoption and extension of the form layout and the gateway service. Besides, this new approach allows for the distinction of Master Form Templates (like a frame of a picture with logo, sender address, receiver address) and Content Form Templates (like the actual picture with the transactional data) that makes it possible to reuse Master Form Templates for several Content Form Templates. The customizing is done via the SAP Output Management app.
