Caching Forms
Forms are sent to Adobe document services (ADS) for processing. This function enables you to optimize communication with ADS by caching the form layout on the server where ADS is installed.

There are two types of caching in ADS. As well as caching the form layout, you can also cache the processed PDF (for interactive forms). In the latter case, you can optimize performance on the ADS server since it retains a ready-made PDF that only needs to be filled with application data at runtime. For more information, see the documentation Form Caching in the online help of Adobe LiveCycle Designer (mentioned further below).
To use this function, you require SAP NetWeaver Support Package Stack 6 or higher.
You activate this function by setting the field CACHING in the table FPCONNECT in the Data Browser (transaction SE16). This setting then applies to all forms in your Web AS ABAP.
