Adobe Document Services (ADS) Configuration

Hello,
I need to configure ADS for Form Processing (ABAP). However, I got the following landscape:
AS JAVA instance: Netweaver 7.01 (EP/BI-Java)
AS ABAP instance: Netweaver 7.4 SR1
Is there any restriction or consideration regarding this scenario? I mean, having an ABAP stack higher than the JAVA. Is it possible?
Regards,
JAM

Hi JAM,
Please find pre-requisite information in SAP help as below
Configuring Adobe Document Services for Form Processing (ABAP) - Adobe Document Services for Form Processing - SAP Libra…
Prerequisites
The AS Java where the ADS are running should have at least the same release as the AS ABAP.
Caution
The following functions for PDF forms require at least the ADS version on AS Java 7.20:
Parallelization of large print jobs
Stitching of PDF forms
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Deepak Kori

EP Adobe Document Services ADS blank PDF

We have an application that will generate after a button clik a PDF and will be open this. On the first click doesn't appear the pdf-document only the Toolbar from Acrobat Reader.
When the button will click again, then it will appear correctly with the pdf-document inside.
any support will be appreciate, cheers

Hi Francesco,
I have the same problem here. The first click on the button download gives a PDF file which is less in size than desired.
I cannot figure out whether it is a problem with the code being used OR some configuration settings in Adobe Document Services (ADS).
Any help is welcome !
Thanks and regards,

ADS(Adobe Document Services setup/configuration/testing)

Hi experts,
     I am trying to do the following from Interactive Forms Config guide(around page
22), as part of ADS config-testing :
Defining ADSUser as Technical User
To prevent, that the password for the ADSUser expires, do following:
1. Log on to the User Management of your AS Java:
http://<AS Java server>:<http port> -> User Management
2. Display the user ADSUser.
3. Choose Modify.
4. In the Security policy field, change the setting from Default to Technical
User
5. Save.
Problem-description:(SAP version SAP ECC 6.0)
Step 1 executes fine, however when I click user-management in step 1 and try to logon with user-name as J2EE_ADMIN, to affect the change mentioned in step 2 onwards(I am sure the password, I put in, is correct as that's the password I use successfully in the visual-adminstrator also),the J2EE server goes offline immediately, only to comeback in a few minutes, I can see the connection is not there in SAP Management-console(server icon also goes grey) and also in SM59->HTTP connections->ADS->connections(message 'not ready'). The web-page after the above logon also remains blank(with web-page status as done in the status-bar below).
   I have tried to do these steps more than 20 times with the same results, connection is broken but reinstated in a few minutes. Because of this problem I can't go any further with testing. Another problem is, while testing using programs FP_PDF_TEST_OO & FP_TEST_OO, the former program comes back with version etc., however the later program FP_TEST_OO, after execution, doesn't do anything and remains hung even after a couple of hours. I have also written a program to call a standard-adobe-form medruck_po with just order no. and some basic item-details. But this programs also remains hung, like pgm.FP_TEST_OO, which is probably same problem.
   Has anybody come across this problem? any help will be highly appreciated.
with warm regards,
Ramesh.

Hi everybody,
        I have done some more detailed observations and am reposting the same problem with further details :

Using Adobe Document Services (ADS) with SSL

Hi,
Hope any of you encountered a question like me while implementing ADS on NW04 SP16.
We've installed ADS and patched it to SP16_1. After wrote a dynpro application to run on portal. Everything is ok with HTTP. But if we access same application via HTTPS it reaises exceptions.
So tried to enable SSL for ADS. But question is, during "Creating the SSL User Credentials" section, I gave exactly same values for "Key and Certificate Generation" popup as SSL Certificate.
Country Name: US
State/Province: Some State
Locality Name: Some City
Organization Name: Some Customer
Organization Unit Name: Some Purchasing Unit
Common Name: *.<domain>
Also tried to add PFX Certificate used J2EE SSL Enabling via "Select CA Key".
All the other steps are followed as guide.
But when i tried to access application exception is raised and within security log following messages appear;

PDF Printing for BW 3.5 using Adobe Document Services (ADS)

Hi there,
I am currently using Netweaver 04 - BW 3.5 and have a requirement to convert my web queries into a PDF format for saving and printing.
I have the document from BW Expert - Six steps to creating Great-looking PDF Reports in BW which provides a reasonable workaround.
Upgrade is out of the question at the moment.
<b>Has anyone enabled PDF printing for BW 3.5 by calling ADS??</b>
Any help would be very much appreciated and points will be awarded.
Many Thanks

Adobe Document Service (ADS) ssl test - How to ?

Hello,
I've set up ADS with Basic Authentication using - and when i test using the
"test" function ---> rpdata -
> send ---> ADSUser + Password - it works fine.
Even the practical tests of developing PDF docs and displaying them in the portal are fine.
Now i try to configure ssl for the webservice connection cause the portal is now
configured to use https (with self-signed cert).
My questions are:
1. Do i have to change the com.sap.tc.webdynpro.adsproxy.AdsProxySec*ConfigPort_Document port to 50003 ? or should i leave it 50001 ?
2. Do i have a way to test the ssl configuration ?
Thx
Adi

Hi Deszo,
Could you tell me how i can check the connection between my local machine and the central ADS?
As i mentioned in the post, pls take a look at the post i did in the Adobe IF forum.
Thx in advance
Kind regards,
Maarten.

I already posted this question in the IF group, but nobody replied except myself. I hope somebody can help me with the problem. What i want to know is, how to configure my local J2EE engine to make use of the ADS on another server. I read the configuration guide of the ADS, but then it is still not working. Pls see other post Using ADS on other server
Hope somebody can help me.
Thx in advance.
Regards Maarten.

Hi Deszo,
Could you tell me how i can check the connection between my local machine and the central ADS?
As i mentioned in the post, pls take a look at the post i did in the Adobe IF forum.
Thx in advance
Kind regards,
Maarten.

Implementing Adobe Document Services (ADS) in portal with MSS scenario

Hi,
Has anyone implemented the new MSS scenario (ECC 6.0) on NW 2004S yet? We're trying to implement ADS to show us the trip and travelforms in PDF and have hence followed the ADS config guide for this. We used Basic Authentication and I thought this was necessary for ADS to work at all. However, if we don't want GUI users to have to apply ADSUSER username and password all the time, how do we configure this? Simply revert all the changes we have done?
I realize this is a less secure approach, but we need a setup where no users need to type any username and passwords to view their travel or salary forms.
Hope someone can help!
Best Regards,
Hans Petter

Hi,
yes we have. However, the setup of the ERP system where we're implementing is a multi-client SAP installation. I don't know what impact this has on the issue?
If I test the ADS connection in SM59 it connects OK without asking me for user/pwd. But when looking at a tripform in GUI for any user he/she is requested to enter the username and password for the ADS before seeing the PDF tripform.
Any other ideas? Do you have a list of steps you have done in order for me to go over my configuration and see if there's an issue with the multiclient setup?
Appreciate your help!

Using Adobe Document Services (ADS) on System i

Hi.
We have heard questions about using ADS on System i several times in this forum. Barbara Roth from the SAP on IBM System i porting team (who answered most of these questions) has now written a paper on how to deal with ADS on our platform. Have a look on our SAP on DB2 for i.
Best regards,
Jan

Hello Craig,
you bring up some valid points:
1. Installing a Windows dialog instance
In NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s), at the beginning of the installation of the DI, you don't select the type of dialog instance any more. In the Welcome screen you would choose something like "Additional Application Server". The installation will ask you for the profile directory of the central instance and will conclude the rest (if CI has ABAP, DI will have ABAP, if CI has Java, DI will have Java).
The installation of the Windows dialog instance needs to get started on the Windows host where you want to install your dialog instance using a Windows installation master DVD.
2. Using Native JDBC driver
All SAP instances of a system will use the same JDBC driver. If your SAP system contains remote instances (instances that are on a different host than the database), you have no choice but will have to use the Toolbox JDBC driver. Especially in the case of Adobe, the remote platform is Windows, you definitely need to use the Toolbox JDBC driver.
3. Further confusion
Thanks for sharing the challenges of an install with us. If you have more concrete problems, I'm convinced the forum is willing to help you. I think it wouldn't help to just pour lots of general information over you. Please let me know if you have more specific questions.
Best regards, Barbara

Adobe Document Services landscape question

Hello,
We have installed Adobe Document Services (ADS) as part of Netweaver 2004s on a 32 bit Windows server. We have our Development Portal configured to point to this server in the configuration of ADS.
Can we use the same ADS server for our QA Portal? We want to limit the number of servers/instances that we have to install and maintain.
Thank you,
George Barta

Hello,
There is a web service client connection to setup, and that's it (so nothing extraordinary there) !
Guids on how to do this are available on service.sap.com/adobe (configuration guide) and also in the following threads:

Im just accessing from url http://server:port/AdobeDocumentServices/Config
On previous versions you can access to a Welcome Screen.
Which URL should I use o NW 7.4 to access ADS?

Help Adobe Document Services capabilities

Hi,
1. Can Adobe document services be configured for continuoulsly monitoring a folder "watching a folder" for xml files (which is data source)
2. Once a xml file is placed into the folder ADS should pick up the file and merge it with the xdp file (livecycle designer) template to create a pdf file.
Please let me know wheather it is possible in ADS ?
Thanks,
Kanna.

Hello Kanna,
ADS does not do this as standard. You could create a custom program to do this...

Adobe Document Service to print PO attachments

Hi,
If anyone has Adobe Document Service (ADS) installed on their system, could you please create a Purchase Order (PO) with an attachment and take a printout of the PO and check if the attachment is printed along with the PO. If it is then please let me know.
In one of the threads I read that you need to install Adobe Document Service(ADS) to print the attachment along with the PO. But nowhere in the ADS documentation did I read that installing ADS will help print the attachement with the PO. I need to be sure of the solution before I reccomend installing ADS to the client.
Also if anyone has any documentation on ADS especially saying that it will help print PO attachments while printing PO please let me know.
Thanks,
Jack

Hi Jack/Yann,
I am on SRM4.0 SP9 and wanted to achieve the same. But got a reply from SAP as below :
Dear Customer,
The print and fax option will only display the attachment names, not
the actual attachment which is part of the purchase order, if you wish
to provide the attachments to the vendor please use the XML or email
output option and the attachment will be included in this document
type.
Is it possible through XDC, can you please share the document with me so I can read it.
My id [email protected]
thanks,
smita
