SAP Adobe Forms
Migrating to Adobe Forms is usually a matter of debate, if you are an SAP user for several years. Because then, a fundamental redesign of the existing forms is often the order of the day. There are multiple reasons for that:
- In the SAP implementation phase, the development of forms was not given the necessary attention.
- The forms can no longer maintained without causing unforeseen errors.
- The department draws up requirements which can not be realized with SAPScript or Smart Forms.
- Customers or the IT auditor require archiving forms in PDF/A format.
- The number of errors with the existing SAP forms in productive system has exceeded the acceptable level.
- The use of an external output management system is too expensive or has major weaknesses in SAP integration and should be replaced by a solution within the SAP environment.
In this situation, the desire to replace existing SAP forms with a migration to Adobe Forms is growing. SAP offers a migration tool from Smart Forms to Adobe Forms, which is only very limited. There is no migration tool for SAPScript.

A clear definition of the project objective is important. A migration to Adobe Forms is not just the transition to a new form technology, but one should consider such a project as an opportunity to learn from past experiences and to put the relevant forms on a stable, forward-looking basis.
The key challenge is the integration of the form logic into Adobe Forms, which has grown over the years.
In most cases a new development of the forms is necessary. Initial analyzes of the project scope often lead to the fact that the effort involved in migrating to Adobe Forms is comparable to the effort of the form development in the SAP implementation.
