PDF without full version of ADOBE Acrobat (Smart Forms)

Question

Hello,
I try to generate a smart forms document as pdf-file by successfully using the otf-converter and afterwards the pdf-viewer.
Because of company rules only ADOBE Acrobat 7.0 Elements and ADOBE Acrobat 7.0 Reader are installed and we are not allowed to install the full version of ADOBE Acrobat.
Now the pdf-viewer methods generate error "did not find ADOBE application to display PDF documents".
Can anybody help?

Coding for pdf-viewer:
DATA: my_pdf_viewer     TYPE REF TO cl_gui_pdfviewer,
      my_main_container TYPE REF TO cl_gui_custom_container.
    IF my_main_container IS INITIAL.
      CREATE OBJECT my_main_container
        EXPORTING
          container_name = 'CUSTOM_CNTL'
        EXCEPTIONS
          cntl_error     = 1
          OTHERS         = 2.
      IF sy-subrc <> 0.
        EXIT.
      ELSE.
   " create PDF Viewer object
        CREATE OBJECT my_pdf_viewer
          EXPORTING
            parent              = my_main_container
          EXCEPTIONS
            cntl_error          = 1
            cntl_system_error   = 2
            OTHERS              = 3.

You can do like this :
PARAMETERS file LIKE rlgrap-filename.
DATA       v_url TYPE char255.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR file.
  REFRESH: it_tab[].
  CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_open_dialog
    EXPORTING
      window_title      = 'Select File'
      default_filename  = '*.pdf'
      file_filter       = '*.pdf'
      initial_directory = 'C'
      multiselection    = 'X'
    CHANGING
      file_table        = it_tab
      rc                = gd_subrc.
  READ TABLE it_tab INTO wa_tab INDEX 1.
  IF NOT wa_tab IS INITIAL.
    file = wa_tab-filename.
  ELSE.
    MESSAGE s000(0k) WITH 'Please enter valid file name'(001).
    STOP.
  ENDIF.
*now open the pdf
*Open the PDF document
    IF NOT my_pdf_viewer->html_viewer IS INITIAL.
      CLEAR v_url.
      v_url = file.
      CALL METHOD my_pdf_viewer->open_document
        EXPORTING
          url = v_url.
    ENDIF.
