Creating the Form Record Referencing the PDF File

Form records must be maintained within Siebel Business Applications so that the forms are available to users. This process allows administrators to add new forms, update forms with newer versions, and deactivate or remove old and obsolete forms.

Only users with administrator privileges can modify or delete form records. Typically, older forms are flagged as inactive rather than deleted.

This task is a step in Process of Setting Up Adobe Forms Integration.
