PDFDocument is NULL. Exception

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I'm a new developer in interactive forms.

When i develop a simple application and deploy it.following message is displayed:

PDFDocument is NULL. Exception com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.adobe.pdfdocument.base.core.PDFDocumentRuntimeException: Severe : PDFDocument is NULL. Exception : Service call exception; nested exception is: com.sap.engine.services.webservices.jaxrpc.exceptions.InvalidResponseCodeException: Invalid Response Code: (401) Unauthorized.

at com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.window.WindowPhaseModel.processRequest(WindowPhaseModel.java:153)

what i've done is:

1.download the pfx file (on SDN)and copy it to D:\usr\sap\[SID]SYS\global\AdobeDocumentServices\TrustManagerService\trust\credentials

2.install it through VA

3.change the user ADSUSER's password and check the "no password change required"

4.i check the hostname:50100/AdobeDocumentServices/Config and it has no error,but one field value is Begin traceRequired stream: "PDFDocument" not found.

so how do i resolve this problem.

Best Regards,

Hi Delma,

Are u getting the version info when doing the test for http: //hostname:50100/AdobeDocumentServices/Config ? If yes, then ADS is configured correctly.

If you have the version number, please check the security provider .Make sure you use the basic authentication .

User: ADSUser and correctly typed password.

set up Basic Authentication in a Java environment:

1. Log on to the Visual Administrator.

2. On the Cluster tab, choose Server <x> &#8594; Services &#8594; Web Services Security.

3. Choose Web Service Clients &#8594; sap.com > tc_wdpdfobject &#8594; com.sap.tc.webdynpro.adsproxy.AdsProxy*ConfigPort_Document.

4. Check that the url mentioned there is correct (Thats the location where ADS is running as a web service). If not, please modify the URL (switch to Custom) to point it to the right location. You are required to change only the host and port in the URL. You can test the URL on your browser to be 100% sure.

5. From the Authentication list, select BASIC.

6. In the User and Password boxes, enter as Username ADSUser and a Password (consult your ADS administrator got the same).

7. Choose Save.

8. The authentication data must be activated. For doing this navigate to Services &#8594; Deploy.

9. Choose the button Application.

10. Choose sap.com/tc_wdpdfobject in the tree.

11. Choose Stop Application.

12. For restarting the application choose Start Application.

13. Test your application

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Check out the following blog Point 2)

/people/community.user/blog/2007/05/07/troubleshooting-in-adobe-online-interactive-form-for-beginner

Also make sure you have Adobe reader version 7.0.9 or higher.

Have you created an Action for e.g Submit in web dynpro correctly and assigned it to the onAction event. of the interactive Form UI element.?

[Former Member]

Hi

Firstly,thank you for your reply.

I check the blog and my displayType is activeX.

and I just uploaded my adobe reader to 8.0.

my submit action is assigned to the onSubmit event.

But the submit still doesn't work.

I'm confused.

Best regards,

Hi Delma,

You may require a plugin called SAPForms.api in your Adobe Reader Installation source inorder that the Submit button should work. I have emailed you the plugin and the location to place it.

Hope it helps.
