How to Activate Adobe Document Services

[Former Member]

Hi

I would like to develop PDF reports from my Web Dynpro application.

I have the Adobe LiveCycle Designer installed and working.

I understand that Adobe Document Services comes as standard on portal 7.0, but needs to be activated.

Could someone pls show me how to activate the Adobe Document Services on the Visual Administrator?

thanks in advance

Hello Anton,

ADS are by default installed and started with your J2EE engine (all the services Document Services *; IIOP; PDF; XML have to be started).

To run Interactive forms in WD apps, you need to install a credential: refer to the config guide available on service.sap.com/adobe > Media library > Documentation.

There's a trial credential on SDN in the downloads section.

Hi Francois

I down loaded a trial credential and installed in but still get an error.

I am trying to run the completed tutorial provided on the SDN - TutWD_DynamicForm.

Please could you look at it ans steer me in the right direction.

The initial exception that caused the request to fail, was:

Hello,

Are you sure of you ADS configuration, did you succesfully run the tests (execution of ADS web service)?

Check ADS user password and web service client authentication.

Please read my previous post: refer to the config guide available on service.sap.com/adobe > Media library > Documentation. Every detail of the config is explained.

Hi Francois

I followed the config guide and set up Basic Authentication.

When I run the test http://<server>:<port>/AdobeDocumentServices/Config I get an error:

<i>Incorrect content-type found 'text/html'</i>

any suggestions?

thanks

Hello,

Cause is probably a wrong password for ADSUser (or typically you forgot to check 'No password change required') - check your config with the guide and it should be ok.

Francois
