In 700 ADS is installed by default along

not selected during the installation then we can install these Adobe services
separately.

part of Configuration.

a.n SE38 check the version of the ads
using the report FP_PDF_TEST_00.
b.n SE38 check if you can get a pdf
output using report FP_PDF_TEST_01

hi,

you can configure QAS but with the risk that if your with which your ADS is configured is down then QAS adobe service also  effected.

use adsuser and u can configure the that system also and making ADS hub.

if this issue is resolved . close this thread

[varun_vadnala3]

Hello,

The execution of following prgrams tells the status of ADS.

FP_TEST_00 -- if the out put of the program is succesful,then the ADS configuration is correct. 

FP_PDF_TEST_00 -- If the system displays version number of ADS,configuration of the RFC

connection is correct.

FP_CHECK_DESTINATION_SERVICE-- If the system displays the file size of the generated pdf,with and without check box,then the configuration of destination server is correct.

For further Info on ADS you can check the Snote : 944221

there is nothing to do. you have to run 2 wizards.

go to http://<hostname>:<port>/nwa->  Configuration->Scenarios-> Configuration wizard->Functional Unit Configuration UI->Adobe Document Services-> Enable auto.

when its finish then go to

http://<hostname>:<port>/nwa->  Configuration->Scenarios-> Configuration wizard-> search Task

(Configuration of the Adobe document services as a hub). Run it . provide the input.

run this wizard provide the input and you are done.

For printing PDF forms you must have JAVA stack installed on any system in your landscape. For example, you can use Solution Manager System.

Kind regards
