Performing Basic ADS Configuration in a Java Environment

You can perform the initial basic configuration of Adobe Document Services (ADS) automatically using the configuration tool. In case changes are required or the automatic configuration failed, you can perform each configuration step manually.

Procedure

1. If no ADS configuration steps have been performed yet after installation, perform the basic ADS configuration automatically

Call the functional unit configuration tool.
More information: Java Functional Unit Configuration
In the list of functional units, choose Adobe Document Services.
Choose Enable Automatically.
Check the status of the ADS configuration.

2. To change or correct specific settings, perform the basic ADS configuration manually
