ADS: com.adobe.ProcessingException: PDF is not interactive

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have a ECC 6.0 ABAP SP12Stack installation and a seperate NW04s SP13 Portal installation. I have done all the configuration steps of ADS integration on those 2 systems.

I developed a WebDynpro application and used the interactive form object referring to a simple Adobe form created with transaction SFP. As I test the Webdynpro ABAP application I get the following error "ADS: com.adobe.ProcessingException: PDF is not interactive. Data can only be imported into interactive forms.(201501)" in UPDATE_PDF method of class CL_WD_ADOBE_SERVICES. Do you have any idea for the reason of this error?

Best Regards,

Hi.

Can it be applied to AS Java version too? Our system was updated from SPS12 to SPS16, and the following problem comes up:

com.sap.tc.webdynpro.pdfobject.core.PDFObjectRuntimeException: Processing exception during a "MergeData" operation.

The Interactive Form was working well before the update. As soon as we set our patched Web Dynpro development environment to use an ADS not yet patched, it works perfectly.

Hi,

I've gone through all steps of the ADS configuration and all tests are succesfull. What I observed is: If you first create the finterface and the form in SFP and then create your ABAP Webdynpro program where you insert an Interactive form object and bind your existing form it doesn't work for me. But if you first create your ABAP Wbdynpro program and insert an interactive form and type sth for the form in the template source and let the system create the form for you by double clicking on it then it worked.

Afterwards I compared both forms properties but couldn't find any differences...

Hello all,

We're facing the same problem as described above after patching to SPS13.

Standard WDA application WDR_TEST_ADOBE sends the same exception as our custom PDF forms.

Did the SAP note 1090486 help you?

Thanks,

Francois

To disply Adobe interactive form in your web browser you need following settings

1. Run ActiveX Control and plug-inc must be enabled

2. Script ActiveX controls set to be enabled .

3.Active scripting must be enabled.

To ensure this run FP_PDF_TEST_00 in transaction code se38 .

It should give the version no.

If it is giving the error you need to configure it correctly.

How do you exactly do this?

[chintan_virani]

Hi,

Open your application which is accessing the Form in se80 and check the enabled property. For more information refer this [link|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/elearning/user-interface-technology/interactive-forms/rig-series-april2007/sap Interactive Forms by Adobe in Web Dynpro for ABAP (Session 3A)/?slide=20]

Hi,

Go to SFP transaction and click on Tools->Options, In the new window select 'Document Handling' and in the file options select 'Dynamic file' . This makes the existing non interactive form to Interactive form.

Hi,

'Tools' option will come only when you are in 'Layout'.

Hi,

In the form properties please specify it as interactive form.
