Form attributes Contains administrative info of the form.
1)General attributes like created by, creation date, creation time.
2)Output options a) Style
b)Page format
c)Output formats(Standard/XSF/XSF+HTML).
Form interface Through Form Interface application (print) program can interact with smartform and vice a versa. It has four tabs
Import
Export
Tables
Exceptions
Form attributes Contains administrative info of the form. Also defines the page
format (DIN A4, Letter, DIN A5 )and output format like
Standard Output: during form processing, the output data is generated in OTF format.
XSF Output: during form processing, the output data is generated in XSF format. XSF is an XML-based language that is determined in the SAP Smart Forms DTD. (for the definition refer to BSP page /bc/bsp/sap/smart_forms/smart_forms_xsf.dtd)
XSF Output + HTML:during form processing, the output data is generated in XSF format as well as any HTML data which the application can send to the browser for display.
Form interface Through Form Interface application (print) program can interact
with smartform and vice a versa. It has Import, Export, Tables and Exceptions
tab which define the set of data passed from a program to a smartform.
Global Definitions All the variables that are global across the smartform are declared here. Here we have five tabe viz Global Data, Types, Initialization,Field Symbols and Form Routines.

Hi Lakshmi
Difference between 'forminterface' and 'global definitions' in global settings of smart forms
The Difference is as follows.
To put it very simply:
Form Interface is where you declare what must be passed in and out of the smartform (in from the print program to the smartform and out from the smartform to the print program).
Global defs. is where you declare data to be used within the smartform on a global scope.
ie: anything you declare here can be used in any other node in the form.
