Adobe Reader error with SAP interactive form in Web dynpro ABAP

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are having a strange intermittent problem with Adobe Reader. When we try to open PDF files from SAP Frontend we get an error pop-up. The pop-up does not have any text. The title of the pop-up has "Adobe Reader". There is a blue question mark and an OK button. The form is inserted into Web Dynpro ABAP page. This web dynpro application is executed in SAP GUI by this program:

REPORT TEST1 MESSAGE-ID SWDP_RUNTIME.

start-of-selection.

CALL FUNCTION 'WDY_EXECUTE_IN_PLACE'

EXPORTING

PROTOCOL = 'HTTPS' " HTTP | HTTPS

• INTERNALMODE = 'X' "SPACE - browser is started

• PARAMETERS =

APPLICATION = 'Z_FORM'

• CONTAINER_NAME = 'TEST'

EXCEPTIONS

INVALID_APPLICATION = 1

BROWSER_NOT_STARTED = 2

OTHERS = 3.

IF sy-subrc EQ 1.

MESSAGE a400.

ELSEIF sy-subrc = 2.

MESSAGE a401.

ELSEIF sy-subrc = 3.

MESSAGE a667.

ENDIF.

Adobe Reader version is 9.1.2

Is there any solution for this?

Many thanks for answer.

Hi,

downgrading to Reader 8 is not solution for me, because some of our users need Reader 9 functionalities.

Many thanks for your answer!

Jiri,

The reason why I thought downgrading would help is because Reader 9 and above is probably not fully supported by SAP yet.

You can maybe open an OSS and see if Adobe 9 is fully supported or not.

Jiri,

Not really sure but try downgrading to Reader 8 and see if issue exists.
