Introduction to Adobe Forms:

SAP Adobe Forms is a result of cooperation between SAP and Adobe – represent state-of-the-art print technology in the SAP
system. Thanks to the successful cooperation, SAP users can use forms in a commonly known and accepted PDF format. The
usage of the PDF format means that forms retain their appearance regardless of the environment they are used in.
We are going to focus on SAP Adobe forms with Watermark using ABAP workbench and Adobe Life cycle Designer.

What are Watermarks and their usability:

Watermark is a recognizable image or pattern in paper that appears as various shades of lightness/darkness.

Watermarks can be a valuable asset to any document. They help convey the status of a document such as the "Draft"
or the importance of the data in the case of a "Confidential" watermark. They also help the differentiating between copy
and original documents with "Copy" and "Original" water mark respectively.
Watermark ensures that the copyright owner's name / company logo is superimposed on the documents.
