Merging documents into one PDF

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to merge multiple files (MS Word, MS Excel) into one PDF document using ADS.

I saw a sample progam FP_PDF_TEST_19 which says * Merge data from a file in an existing PDF. I am trying similar to that.

I checked the ADS connection/configuration and seems to be correct. To confirm that I executed the programs FP_PDF_TEST_00 & FP_TEST_00..It is showing version number and PDF form accordingly.

When I run the program FP_PDF_TEST_19..I am getting the following exception..

System Error: com.adobe.ProcessingException: PDF is not interactive: Data can only be imported into interactive forms.

Processing exception during a "MergeData" operation.

My Question is it possible to merge multiple documents and if possible is there any configuration I am missing.

Please let me know if you require more details.

Thanks

Naren

Hi,

First of all, "merging" document while using ADS consist of adding attachement to ypur form, you can really mere several document into one .

For merging document you have to give a PDF file for input and the document you want to add ( Excel, Word ... ) . The PDF document must be known by the system that means you must have define a form while using transaction SFP . If it's not the case the system can't make the merge .

Hope this help you
