Non-interactive PDF forms & licences

[zbynek_kabrt3]

Hello,

I need an advice. I created WD application using non-interactive PDF form. Actually I used UI element InteractiveForm but we didn't place any editable element (text box, dropdown list, ...) into it. We just want to generate the PDF form dynamically. And now we need to know whether it's necessary to buy any licence for this use case. Does somebody know that?

After deployment I can't open the PDF form. The report "500 Internal Server Error ..." is displayed and there is message "... The error is: com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.adobe.pdfdocument.base.core.PDFDocumentRuntimeException: Failed to UPDATEDATAINPDF ..." in defaltTrace file.

Thank you in advance!

Regards

If it is a non-interactive form. Changet the form properties to non-interactive/ print form

You ncan set it at Edit -> Form Properties -> Default..

Now deploy and test it. This should work. For non-interactive forms, it is not necessary to havet he credentials.

Hope this works

Thank you very much! The answer was really helpful. But I have one more question. I have changed preview type from INTERACTIVE FORM to PRINT FORM as you recommended but it still doesn't work.

There is written "

...

...PDFObjectRuntimeException: Processing exception during a "UsageRights" operation.

com.adobe.ProcessingException: Could not retrieve a password for credential: ReaderRights.

...

" in defaultTrace file.

Till now I didn't asked SAP for sending credential. Now I did that. Do you think that it could be the problem? I thought it's not necessary for non-interactive forms.

For non-intetractive forms, license is not the problem.

Change the properties of the Interctive from element in WebDynpro Java. Change 'enabled' to false and 'display type' to native.

If your WAS and ADS is up, you will see the non-interactive form

- anto.

I found out we did't installed the credential file. After his installing the problem is solved. Any way thank you for your tip with switching PDF form type!

Hi Zbynek Kabrt,

Which credential file did you mean? I am having the same problem.

You need the credential file even if you are in a Non-interactive PDF forms & licences?
