Object Rotation in Adobe Form Introduction: Sometimes we get the requirement in form printing to display text or field in rotated

manner. Rotation of object is not easily possible in Smart Forms/SAPscript. It can be achieved easily through Adobe form. In this case adobe forms get edge over Smart Forms/SAPscript. Objects can be rotated in 90 steps. Transaction Code: SFP First create the interface: ZROTATE_INTF

Put import parameter VBAP with table type VBAP_T

Create Form ZROTATE_FORM in SFP.

Drag the import parameter VBAP form interface to context.

Deactivate the fields of the table, which will not be used in the layout, it adds to the performance.

Click on Layout Button Rename Master Page and change Orientation.

Create Header in Master Page.

Insert the header in master page. Rename and resize the content area in master page.

Resize the Header and Set the Font, Paragraph and Layout Property.

Insert table in design page over the content area.

Two columns with header, but without footer.

Change header name and align properly.

Bind the Fields of table with Data View fields.

Do the same for Amount Field. Wrap Table in sub form. Drag material field from data view to design view page, remove caption, resize the object and wrap in sub form.

Rotate the Material Field and align properly. For 90 rotation click the button

in layout tab.

Save and activate the form.
