Summary :
When converting Smart Forms to Adobe Forms, discrepancies can arise in the mass printing process. The technical breakdown outlines the disparities between handling spool requests and the limited printer control language support for Adobe Forms - mainly PostScript, PCL, ZPLII, and notably, PDF which isn't inherently a printer language. For direct mass printing, if a compatible printer type is unavailable, solutions like SAPPDFPRINT combined with SAPSprint are recommended. Complex scenario adjustments may require collaborations with external partners for data manipulation post-printing. Additionally, storing print data as files via SAPSprint for further processing is advised against for mass initiatives due to inefficiencies.
