Knowledge Management

Question:
Hi Guru's,
I have been requested to specify global functions (meaning advantages & inconvenients) of SAP Content Server solution.
Could anyone provide me such informations and/or insight to get them? (i spent long time looking for without finding them even on service.sap...)
First of the most important targets is to be able to receive documents from customers or suppliers in .pdf format (like orders) and to MODIFY them - fill in - before sending them back.
Second (target) would be to save & store all such .pdf documents (like bills) being able to consolidate them when required (meaning that several and different documents would be used)
Thanks for any insight !
Rgds,
Johnas
Answer:
i think that you are posting on the wrong section but here is a very small selection of content server's functions
The SAP Content Server (SAP CS) is a separate server instance that is used to store content such as scanned invoices, print lists, outgoing documents or archive files. These documents and data are stored on a dedicated server and made accessible to related SAP applications.
The SAP Content Server takes off load from the application database by storing content on an external server in a database (MaxDB) or on its file system. SAP CS does not support optical storage (e.g. DVD jukebox) and there is also no scan client bundled together with SAP CS. On the other hand, there are no additional license costs for SAP Content Server.
More information about SAP CS are available on the SAP Help Portal or on the SAP Support Portal website (login required).

Hi Viffer,
Thanks for your quick answer !
I didn't really know if i was posting in the right section as it was very unclear for me to specify my needs... However, i used to visit your forums thus i tried to get information as well as possible
Gonna have a look on SAP Help Portal as recommended.
Thanks again as "reactivity is efficiency"
Keep - all - enjoy SAP !

Answer:
the content server will not satisfy this one:
First of the most important targets is to be able to receive documents from customers or suppliers in .pdf format (like orders) and to MODIFY them - fill in - before sending them back.
that would be interactive forms. search service.sap.com for the words: 'interactive' 'adobe'.
