Hi guys,

I am able to see the see PDF document via document viewer tcode - SDV if the local desktop Acrobat version is 7.0 but in other machines which has Acrobat reader 9.0. the document cannot be opened it saves in the desktop as .FAX file.

I am using the SAPGUI version 640 release.

Hello Prabhu,

this is a known issue. Please see note 1308147:

-


The ECL Viewer 6.0 delivered with the SAP GUI 7.10 Compilation 3 has

compatibility issues with Adobe 9 (Adobe Reader 9 or Adobe Professional

9 or Adobe Standard 9). The SAP GUI crashes/freezes when viewing PDF

files in transactions like SNOTE.

The same problem is experienced if the standalone version of the ECL

Viewer 6.0 is used with Adobe 9. But in this case the SAP GUI

crash/freeze happens only if the ECL Viewer 6.0 is used in applications

like SAP Document Mgmt. System to view PDFs first followed by PDF

viewing in transaction like SNOTE

Other terms

ECL Viewer 6.0, Adobe 9, SAP GUI 7.10 C3

Reason and Prerequisites

The ECL Viewer 6.0 supplies Adobe libraries which are not compatible

with the ones supplied with Adobe Reader 9.

The note is applicable to you only if you have installed the SAP GUI

7.10 C3 with the Engineering Client Viewer for SAP GUI 7.10.

Also, If in case you have installed the standalone version of the ECL

Viewer 6.0 and use it in applications which use ECL Viewer within the

SAP GUI

Solution

The Current workaround is to use lower versions of Adobe Reader till

there is further update on this incompatibility.

For more details on work arounds, please refer to the link given below
