AEM Knowledge for Implementing AEM Forms?

[nsvsrk]

Hi,

Please refer to URL "https://helpx.adobe.com/aem-forms/6/getting-started.html".

My question is "How much of AEM Knowledge is required for Implementing AEM Forms?"

Let us assume that we are implementing AEM Forms, with no reading/writing requirement to JCR, except that it just deposits the final PDF file in JCR.

It also does not have to access any OSGI bundles of AEM.

For pre populating form fields, let us say, it accesses some APIs, which are outside AEM.

In this context, if a Non AEM team has to develop AEM Forms, how much of AEM Knowledge is required for Implementing AEM Forms?

Of course, they should be familiar with the whole of Forms tab of AEM, in terms of how to develop, test Forms, etc.

They should also know Forms Architecture, in terms of author, activation, publish, dispatcher, etc, which are all AEM.

They should know and use a JCR path for storing final Form PDF and accessing it from there, which are all AEM.

In this case, and only in this case, how much should the team know more on AEM?

Please share your thoughts.

Appreciate your support.

Thanks,

Rama.

In theory - if you read the AEM Forms documentation - you should be able to develop forms without being an expert in the rest of AEM. This is such a large product - i am sure there are teams that author forms and work with forms without being experts in other areas like component development, Sightly, Workflows, etc.

Hi

As mentioned by  Scott, AEM Forums Documentations are sufficient to build forms.
