Hi Vinoth,
Adobe LifeCycle Designer is used for designing the Adobe form in NWDS.
ADS: Adobe® document services enhance the document handling capabilities of SAP Web Application Server (SAP Web AS). Adobe document services allow SAP applications (either Java or ABAP) to take advantage of the full range of capabilities in Adobe Acrobat® Professional, Adobe Acrobat Standard, and Adobe Reader®. For further details check the link:[ADS | http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/95/5a08cd0e274a0bae559622d6670722/frameset.htm]

A few questions regarding the configuration of Adobe Document Services

For Your Information: the main questions are repeated at the end of this post.
The Adobe Document Services seems to work fine. The test I did on http://<server>:<port>/AdobeDocumentServices/Config gives the error
' "Required stream: "PDFDocument" not found. ' so that's fine.
But when I do this: http://server:50000/webdynpro/dispatcher/local/TutWD_OnlineInteractiveForm/OnlineInteractiveFormApp
The result: the PDF is shown and I can enter text in the textboxes and also use the radioboxes.
But I can't use the dropdownboxes, neither can I use the "submit" and "check" buttons..
Is this normal? Or is it because of the ReaderRights credential?
Or is it necessary to install the ACF?
Here is some info I got from a blog:
"Client Side Requirements
Follow the steps mentioned below. Please make sure the following prerequisites are met before working with Adobe Interactive Forms.
NWDS 7.0 / 6.0
Adobe Live cycle designer 7.1 / 7.0
Adobe Reader 7.0.8 [ Minimum : 7.0.1]
End User Requirements
Adobe Reader 7.0.8 [ Minimum : 7.0.1]
Active Component Framework (ACF) - SPS 9, SPS 10"
Two more questions;
1)This info is in the config guide:
"If you have installed the ADS and the WD runtime environment on different J2EE engines and if the communication between these engines uses the SLD, you need to publish the ADS to the SLD."
Does this mean that I don't need to do this when I haven't used SLD? Or is it necessary to install SLD?
Some more info:
Prerequisites:
A System Landscape Dir must already have been configured.
If you have not yet done so, perform the necessary activities according to the documentation SAP System Landscape Directory, Administrative Activities section, chapters:
Start and stop the SLD Service
Configure the SLD Server
Configure data persistence
Make settings for the SLD bridge
You can find this documentation by calling the following URL in your web
browser: http://<host>:<port>/sld
When I check this URL, I don't see anything concerning an (already configured) SLD.
2) Do I need the license below too to develop in AIF?

Main questions----
I need to create a form with a few fields (of which some fields are mandatory); then I have to use a few BAPI's to check these fields and to save the content in a CRM system.
I've installed Netweaver Sneak Preview, and configured Adobe Document Services (made ADSUser & ADSCaller, set IIOP etc to Autostart, Installed the credentials). The tests seem to work fine, but I haven't developed anything yet.
My questions:
1)Is it necessary to install the ACF?
2)Is it necessary to install Adobe LifeCycle Designer?
3)Also SLD?
4)Also the license described above?

No one?
Some questions are answered by someone else.
-The SLD is okay, it doesn't need to be configured
-The Adobe Lifecycle Designer is automatically installed when installing the Netweaver Studio Sneak Preview SP16
Just two more questions:
1)when I open http://server:port/webdynpro/dispatcher/local/TutWD_OnlineInteractiveForm/OnlineInteractiveFormApp
The PDF is shown but I can't use the buttons or the dropdown boxes.
I tried to install ACF but I have NW04s SP16, and the ACF is only SP11.
So when I install that, it only shows a blue screen with "I am the placeholder control"
When I install ACF SP19 for NW04, the PDF shows again, but I still can't use the buttons or dropdowns. Is this normal?
2) Do I need the license described below?

Adobe Document Services - http Response 500 - How to configure the logging?

We are building an application in Web Dynpro Java that fetches data from an R/3 system via an RFC connection and is then supposed to show said data in a pdf within an iview. For that task we want to use the InteractiveForm UIElement. We bind the data to its pdfSource in the iViewu2019s context. Currently the form only consists of a text field bound to one attribute element of the pdfSource context node.
The ADS webservice is configured according to the manuals found here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/fa/0b700d6cfd4e03a8ec2186ba6ff4af/frameset.htm
and tested successfully under the following link
http://<portal_host>:<port>/AdobeDocumentServices/Config?style=document
However, when we execute the application, an error occurs in the webservice generating the pdf, namely Invalid Content-Type:text/html. The error occurs when the iView containing the form is shown for the first time, even before the attributes of the pdfSource context are filled with data (we expect to see an empty form).
As it seems the webservice is expected to return a MIME type of either application/pdf or text/xml (we donu2019t know for sure since the SAP manuals and forums are inconclusive here), but instead we get text/html. This seems to be due to the fact that the webservice exits with an http response 500 Internal Server Error (we used several network monitoring tools to confirm that such a response is sent). Since such http responses are but html files with an empty body, yet not xml or pdf, the aforementioned error does make sense to us, but we do not know what Internal Error has caused it.
The only help that SAP seems to provide for an error u201CInvalid Content-Type:text/htmlu201D in context with ADS points to an expiring password or otherwise poor configuration of the ADSUser, which (most certainly) is not our case here since, and as said above, the configuration was and can be tested successfully.
We then tried to view the logs for this error on the machine where the J2EE engine is running with ADS installed according to this (not very comprehensible) guide:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/de/97/ccfc3f0ac2c642e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
We cannot find anything relevant in the server.log of the Visual Administrator except this message (it is generated exactly when our error occurs u2013 the trace severity is set to ALL for all Adobe application elements according to manual):
Date , Time , Message , Severity , Category , Location , Application , User
12/08/2010 , 13:50:46:511 , application [webdynpro/dispatcher] Processing HTTP request to servlet [dispatcher] finished with error.
The error is: com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.adobe.pdfdocument.base.core.PDFDocumentRuntimeException: Failed to GENERATEPDF
Exception id: [0800274DA7ED00850000005B00000900000496E5919E28BA] , Error , /System/Server/WebRequests , com.sap.engine.services.servlets_jsp.server.HttpHandlerImpl , sap.com/tcwddispwda , Guest
There is no error.pdf to be found on the file system and since neither have we known nor are we told by the error message, whether the underlying cause is is a render error or connection error or configuration error or what not, we donu2019t know whether the error.pdf is supposed to be generated at all.
Or could there be any other reason why generation didnu2019t take place?
Furthermore we canu2019t seem to be able to find any logs more verbose or detailed about this issue - at least not within the Visual Administrator or the portalu2019s nwa.
How is it possible to properly debug the webservice for pdf-generation or at least to retrieve a fully detailed log containing all notifications and exception stack traces etc.?
I am assuming that we are making some basic mistakes regarding the logging configuration - but what?
Our goal is to know what causes the 500 Internal Server Error response that causes the Incorrect Content-Type exception.
We are using a NetWeaver 7.01 portal installation with Adobe Document Services 7.01 installed on a Windows Server 2003 platform.
Any help is highly appreciated!

Have you tried restarting the Java PDF object in Visual Administrator? Once you do all of your config, you have to restart the PDF object (sao.com/tcwdpdfobject) for the changes to take place. I am assuming you've run all of the test programs in SAP (FP_TEST_00, FP_TEST_03, etc.). Is there any chance that the ADSUSER is locked somehow?

Adobe document services communication problem

Hello SDN
a challenge:
we have some problems with the Adobe Document Services. we have installed acording to the installationguide and checked this several times. However when we try to run the program FP_PDF_TEST_00 (which is a SAP-provided test program) it fails with the following error:
Test Program: Version Information (for Analysis Only)
SYSTEM ERROR
ERROR CODE       :     100.101

This is ine of the symptoms -and we fell if we can solve this many of our our other problems will disaapear. (we cant preview, print and so on)
Any ideas?

Hey gurus.
                  i am also facing the same issue about ADS in Abap and java unable to run the interactive forms and getting this error

Java startup property for Adobe document services

Hi guyz, since a while i'm facing a random issue when i generate pdf. All the configuration has been done, but when look at in configtool i see a missing parameter:
-Dorg.omg.PortableInterceptor.ORBInitializerClass.com.sap.engine. services.ts.jts.ots.PortableInterceptor.JTSInitializer
Because it's in the recommendation parameter guide i guess it should be in, but someone can tell what those parameter deals about ?

Hi,
Yes, this service is mandatory if you want to use Adobe document service. It should be set for all server nodes in the config tool. This is Java startup property for Adobe document services. Without this parameter adobe service will not start as a result you will not be able to open adobe documents.
Thanks
Sunny

[PDF] use Adobe Document Services

Hi,
We already discussed about generating PDF (see also this Weblog : /people/sap.user72/blog/2004/11/10/bsphowto-generate-pdf-output-from-a-bsp) from the current page ([PDF] Print BSP current page)
I would like to re-open the subject and asks the question :
"Is this possible to achieve the same without using some third-party tool(I know Eddy is fond of HTMLDOC), and especially, by using Adobe Document Services ?"
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,

using ADS it should be possible. but we have taken a different route. we have developed a small java application (jsp) using <a href="http://www.lowagie.com/iText/download.html">ITEXT</a> residing on the j2ee engine and from out bsp we call this and pass our array to it, it would then render the content in PDF.

Adobe document service error: SOAP Runtime Exception

Hello,
I am trying to test an Adobe Form created using the ABAP workbench SFP transaction, and getting the following error.
Adobe document services error: SOAP Runtime Exception: CSoapExceptionTransport : (100101)
These are the steps I am using.
1. Call SFP transaction and select an ADOBE Form.
2. Function key F8 to test
3. Select the Output device and do "Print Preview"
Our configuration is : WAS 6.40 SP11 and corresponding ADS level. We used the standard SAP ADS configuration guide to setup.
Thanks in advance for any reply.
Regards,
PK

Hi PK
it looks like you have a problem with either your Adobe document services or your RFC configuration. In the current ADS Configuration Guide in the SAP Service Marketplace, you find a configuration quick test in chapter 3.4. The results should tell you if this is the issue.
There are 2 tests you can run:
A. Checking the User and Password
This is a small test where you can check that your entries for user, security role, and passwords are correct.
Procedure:
1. Enter the following URL in your web browser:
http://<server>:<port>/AdobeDocumentServices/Config
where <server> is the name of the J2EE engine where the Adobe document services are installed and <port> is the port of the J2EE engine.
Note that the entries in the URL are case-sensitive.
2. The web page of the web service AdobeDocumentServices is displayed. Choose Test.
3. Choose rpdata(test.) .
4. Choose the Send button without entering any parameters.
5. Enter the same user name and password as given in the configuration steps earlier.
6. Choose Submit.
If the configuration is correct, you get the information about the Version number in the response area.
If the configuration settings are not correct, the page does not change and Submit still appears.
B. Checking the ABAP Connection
This is a small test for checking the RFC destination you have created.
Procedure
1. Log on to your SAP system.
2. Call transaction SE38
3. Enter the name of the test report: FP_PDF_TEST_OO.
4. Choose Execute (F8)
If the configuration is correct, you get the Version Information.
If the configuration is not correct, you get a dialog box with fields for user and password. Check your configuration settings and also the entries you made when creating the ABAP connection.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Markus Meisl

Running Adobe Document Services

Hello,
We are looking at a project that will require the use of Adobe Interactive forms. In looking at the requirements for this, I see that we need to run the Adobe Document Services (ADS). The ADS runs on the SAP Java AS. In reviewing the SAP Product Availability Matrix (PAM) it looks like running the ADS on the iSeries platform is not available. I am curious if anyone else on this group uses Adobe Document Services and if so, what does your system landscape look like to run this?
Best regards,
Russ Cook

Hi Russ.
If you search this forum you will find several threads dealing with ADS on IBM i. In addition to that I would like to point to our [community homepage|SAP on DB2 for i] where you will find a [whitepaper about ADS on IBM i|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/50a2b40c-4c03-2a10-b289-84b9fae53095].

Adobe Document Services... Need it Urgently....

Hi, I need to know about ADS( Adobe document services). What is it actually. Is it compatible to SAP. I had a scenario in my Firm, that is to convert a EXCEL File to PDF automatically when its stage is cleared. I need a contact number (or) mail id to discuss about this. please reply me back as soon as possible. Regards.

Hi Nick,
I think dont need a licence for ADS if you dont use ssl. If you use ssl from your java system to abap system then you have to configure some settings.If you dont use ssl then no need of licence.Just upgrade to current ADS Support package and follow the document

Questions Regarding Adobe Document Services

Greetings,
We are looking at implementing Adobe Document Services and I have some general questions about running it; any input you can give will be helpful. I am particularly eager for good reference documents that have answers to these questions.
Question 1:
We have multiple ABAP stacks which could use ADS (which runs on the J2EE stack). Can we use just one J2EE instance running the latest version of ADS and hook it up to all our ABAP stacks? Or do we need a separate J2EE instance for each ABAP stack?
Question 2:
Are there direct version dependencies between ADS and the ABAP stack version / J2EE stack version? In other words, if we upgrade the ABAP stack version does the ADS version need to increase to the same stack level?
Question 3:
Does Adobe Lifecycle Designer require a separate client install for it to work in the SAPGUI?
Question 4:
What is meant by "high volume" print scenarios -- and why would this supposedly need a dual-stack system?
Thanks in advance SDNers!
- Kris

actuall the statement to have ABAP+JAVA for performnce reasons is obsolete as of NW 7.0 SP12
please see the Master guide at https://service.sap.com/instguides
For SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SP Stack 06 and higher, run both usage types AS ABAP and AS Java in
one system to improve performance for printing scenarios in this system. This precludes the
possibility of using one central ADS for several systems.
As of SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SP Stack 12, this restriction no longer applies. Therefore you can also
improve performance by using one central ADS for several systems.
this is a good starting point https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/adobe
There are in particular for ADS installations on HP-UX performance constraints
please checkout #1133230:
Because the ADS binary files execute using the AIRES emulator, erformance of the ADS will be slightly different from what is indicated in the ADS sizing guidelines.
Performance for small print forms will be approximately 2.0 times slower than indicated in the sizing guideline.
Performance for medium and large print forms and non-cached interactive forms will be approximately 1.5 times slower than indicated in the sizing guideline
Performance for cached interactive forms will be approximately 25% faster than indicated in the sizing guideline

Documentation for using Adobe Document Services

Hi,
Is there any documentation available on how to use Adobe Document Services? I have installed Adobe Document Services for Netweaver 2004. But I am not able to use the services as I do not know how to access them (is it like Adobe Document Services exposes a set of APIs/webservices and we have to call them? If yes, is there any documentation on the same?).
Thanks,
Vibha.

Hi,
I think the below mentioned links will give a clear idea about ADS Configuration.
https://websmp104.sap-ag.de/adobe
Check MEDIA LIBRARY - Documentation link in this link.
And also check this link too...

Hi,
All the form-related services have to be started first: the IIOP on dispatcher and server, all the Document Services *, PDF manupulation and XML form module.
Then you should be able to register your credential.
