Information on ADS Errors Contained in a Returned PDF File
If the trace level is set to a the value 4, or if an error occurred during form rendering, Adobe Document Services (ADS) provide you with a PDF and several files embedded in its attachment.
These files contain all input that is needed for rendering of the form. For performance reasons, it is an untagged PDF and therefore not accessible. The appearance of the returned PDF depends on the setting for the trace level and on the type of error (error or warning). In some cases, the called PDF form is returned. There may also be cases when only a PDF containing error messages is returned.
The following tables give you an overview on the returned rendering results and attached files depending on settings and errors.
