Adobe Forms SP 10 failed

Question

Dear all!
I'm using J2EE Engine with SP 10. I'm trying to run Adobe Interactive Forms but failed.
what I did:
- deployed Adobe Forms sda files for Service Pack 10 via SDM on the J2EE instance
- installation of Adobe Reader Version 6.0.2
- enabled Active X in IE Version 6
- worked through post installation activities (IIOP Services start automatically)
- worked through the Configuration Guide for ADS (ADS User etc... )
not sure:
- do I need credentials for SP 10
Visual Admin -> Server node -> Document Services Licence Service tells me: "License Compliance: yellow traffic lights, you do not require a license at this time"
- is the deploy of the sda files on SAP Service Marketplace sufficient as installation of the Adobe Services?
Error:
com.sap.tc.webdynpro.pdfobject.core.PDFObjectRuntimeException: Service call exception; nested exception is:
     com.sap.engine.services.webservices.jaxrpc.exceptions.InvalidResponseCodeException: Invalid Response Code: (401) Unauthorized.
Any hints? Thankx
Christoph

Hi Christoph,
you definitely need the credentials to run an interactive form, without them the ADS cannot create the fillable PDF. Likewise, you'll need to go through all other steps described in the ADS Inst Guide and Config Guide.
In addition, for the run time you need the Active Components Framework for Interactive Forms (see SAP Note 736902).
With SP10, there was also an installation issue (see this thread for solution: Problem in ADOBE Editor).
Hope this helps,
