Error while generating interactive PDF

Hi all,
For the first application i am creating in web dynpro, i thought of creating a interactive form and calling it in web dynpro screen.
But there's an error...!!
I have created the adobe form in Adobe LIve Cycle Designer.
I have placed the UI element InteractiveForms in the layout tab of the view. And in the Template source have given the name of the PDF file. Have also checked the Enabled check box in the properties.
First when i executed the application it displayed the PDF, but none of the field's where editable or interactive.
Then after searching some PDF got some code which i put in the WDDOMODIFYVIEW method of the view.
Now it gives a Dump..!!!
Kindly suggest if i have missed out on some settings or some more code needs to be written to make the form interactive.
method WDDOMODIFYVIEW.
data: LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM type ref to CL_WD_INTERACTIVE_FORM,
LR_METHOD_HANDLER type ref to IF_WD_IACTIVE_FORM_METHOD_HNDL.
check first_time = abap_true.
LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM ?= VIEW->GET_ELEMENT(u2018INTERACTIVE_FORM_1u2019).
LR_METHOD_HANDLER ?= LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM->_METHOD_HANDLER.
LR_METHOD_HANDLER->SET_LEGACY_EDITING_ENABLED( abap_true ).
. endmethod.
Thanks in advance, all help will be apreciated.

hi,
this is the error i get.
"Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible. "
I have not entered anything in the PDFSource attibute in the properties.

ERROR WHILE GENERATING THE PDF

HI gurus,
We are trying to publish BI reports in the Portal server as Iviews.
In the portal system, when I am clicking the PRINT VERSION button for the
CO cost center (area): Plan/actual: Quarterly iview, its giving the PDF file,
thats well and good.
But when if I am doing the same thing for other iviews, for example: say the iview (COcost center range: Transaction Drill-down).
I am getting the ERROR WHILE GENERATING THE PDF
The question is : its working for some standard iviews and giving error message to other std. iviews.
Please suggest how to resolve this issue.
Regards,
Prasad

Hi Om,
I need to fix this issue and I had taken help from Rohini.
I will try to explain the issue in detail.
I am trying to execute Tax Reporter Transaction PU19. Iam executing Quarterly Form 941 for USA for a Tax Company and a Period. This report gives an output Log and the log had generated errors in the log section General errors and Warnings.
The errors are :
Errors in generating the PDF Form : HR_F_941 and
Errors in generating the PDF Form : HR_F_941_SCHED_B
As we are new to the PDF Forms we don't know why the report has generated and how to find out by debugging or any other way.
So I need to find out how the above errors can be identified?
Thanks and Regards,
Madhan.

Hi,
I think this is an ADS error. This is a reason why pdf's are not working. We had the same issue.
You can check your installation:

Error while generating PDF

Hello Guru's,
I have done the ADS configuration setup and checked all configuration settings.It seems everything is working fine but when i select the option "Print Verison" ( I have executed a query using the query designer) i am getting above error.
FYI: Its a BI 700 system and we are at Suport pack10 level (both ABAP+Java). By the way i should let you know that it is a copy of Production.
Here is the log:
Error while generating PDF

com.sap.ip.bi.webapplications.pageexport.PageExportRenderingRootNode PageExport#
Any thoughts as to what the messages above might be pointing me to?I should appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Ravi.

Hello Dezso,
I have executed the test report FP_TEST_00 and i got a form containing several lines on two pages.I have checked all the configuration checks and got the correct results as mentioned in the ADS document. But when i try to print a query using the query analyzer,i am getting that PDF error. I have no issues with my other BI 700 system.

Hi Jan,
Most possible causes for encountering this issue are:
Possible cause:
- The ADS is installed on a plattform, that is currently not supported by SAP for ADS. Please check the avaliablity at: Product Availability Matrix
- Mixing of different Netweaver releases (NW04 and NW04s) -> This is unfortunatelly not possibble the J2EE engine release has to match with the ABAP stack release in order connect them properly.
- The ADS SP level does not match the J2EE engine SP level. -> Please update the software components to have the same support package level.
Hope this helps!!
Regards,
Arafat

Application error while generating PDF form

Hello there,
I am getting the message "Application error while generating PDF form" and when you hover it has additional information Message Class HREIC_APPL - Message number 258.
I get this upon doing the following steps:
1. Enter SAP R3, enter HREIC on the transaction code input.
2. Enter EIC, Activity Search. Searched for an Activity, selected it and click the "PRINT" button.
3. After clicking the PRINT button, I get the error message "Application error while generating PDF form".
Installed this on development box, did the same configuration in test system, but still I get this error. ADS Configuration is working fine and configured fine.
Is there anything else that is needed to be checked? like Ports, Firewalls, etc?
Thanks a lot.

Be sure that the RFC name is "ADS" and not anything else.
Thanks.
