With the InteractiveForm UI element you can design and create interactive PDF forms. To do this you need the Adobe document services. These services are installed as Web services on a J2EE Engine and have the destination URL as default.
Recommendation
We recommend that you install the Adobe document services on the J2EE Engine on which the Web Dynpro runtime environment is deployed. In this case the default settings for the destination URL are copied from the Adobe document services.
If the Adobe document services are not provided on the J2EE Engine on which the Web Dynpro runtime environment is deployed, you must change the destination URL of the Adobe document services using the Visual Administrator.
You have access to the J2EE Engine with administrator authorization.
