Did you check out this note :

Note 887495 - Note Assistant: Call contained error(s): ADS (2)

Did you search for notes?

http://service.sap.com/notes

Enter "pdf pdl" as search term - you will get

952297 - Printing PDF-based documents fails

685571 - Printing PDF-based forms

Check if those notes apply to your environment.

I don't no whether it is configured or not, but can you please let me know how can we now whether it is configured or not in SAP.

If in case it is not configured then do i need to configure acording to http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/adobe. Choose Installation & Configuration -> SAP Interactive Forms - Configuration Guides.

In this configuration guide is it Configuration Guide for SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe

thanks

Hi,

launch following in INTERNET explorer.

http://sapjavahost:50<instance_nr>0

where sapjavahost = hostname of you SAP java stack host

<instance_nr> = instance number of Java system

this open sap j2ee engine start page.

click on system information, login with administrator user and password

under Software Components you will find version and patch level.
