SAP® DMS Plugin – Integrate Product Images Directly into SAP® Forms
With the SAP® DMS Plugin from solidforms, you can integrate technical drawings, product images and other graphics from the SAP® Document Management System (DMS) into your SAP® Adobe Forms. For example, add relevant product images to order confirmations or technical drawings to production documents – without embedding the images permanently in the form layout.
Your Benefits at a Glance

- Display material-related images and technical drawings in forms
- Manage image files centrally in the Document Management System
- Show images directly alongside the corresponding form line items
- Reduce manual maintenance and keep product images consistent
Your Benefits
Make Your Forms More Informative with Images
Product Images in the Right Place
Images can be assigned to the relevant material or sales order items.
Use Technical Drawings
Include engineering drawings and technical illustrations in suitable forms.
Centralized Image Management
Manage graphics in SAP® DMS instead of embedding them individually in every form.
In Business Processes
From Engineering to Order Confirmation
Engineering and product development teams create drawings and product graphics that can be stored in SAP® DMS and linked to materials. The DMS Plugin makes selected graphics available for form output, so they appear in the appropriate documents and line items.
How It Works
Automatically Display DMS Graphics in Form Line Items
Documents in SAP® DMS
Store graphics or drawings centrally as document originals.
Establish Material Links
Retrieve the relevant image using the agreed DMS document and material assignments.
Image in the Adobe Form
Display the retrieved image in the required form line item or document section.
PDF and Print
Generate forms with embedded images as PDFs and output them through the relevant business process.

Applications
Product Images and Drawings Across SAP® Processes
SAP® SD · Sales
Product images in quotations, order confirmations and other sales forms.
SAP® PP · Production
Technical drawings or component images in suitable production documents.
Other Forms
Integration into other Adobe Forms output processes after reviewing data retrieval and the print program.
Centralized Maintenance
Update Images Without Changing the Form Layout
Image files remain in the central Document Management System. When graphics or document assignments are updated in DMS, they can be reflected in newly generated forms, provided that the retrieval logic has been configured accordingly. This helps maintain consistent documents and reduces maintenance effort. SAP® Form Development with Adobe Forms and about solidFormkit.
