Summary :
This SAP Note details procedures for printing interactive forms on printers without predefined device types aligned with Note 685571. It introduces SAPPDFPRINT for enabling printing on any Windows printer using SAPWIN device types. For server-based printing, installation of SAPPDFPRINT 7.20 and SAPSprint 7.20 on Windows servers is required, with subsequent adjustments in SAP system to use device type PDF1 and access method 'S'. Alternative configurations following Note 1066060 allow for generating PDF data streams using SAPWIN device types. For front-end printing, the combination of SAPPDFPRINT 7.20 with SAPGUI 7.20 is advised, avoiding obsolete access type 'F'. Additional considerations mention the incompatibility of PDFs containing extensive information, and proper installation processes involving SAP Service Marketplace downloads.
