Configuring Adobe Document Services for Print Scenarios  

Use

This quick guide leads you through all steps that are required for configuring the Adobe document services (ADS) for the usage in print scenarios. These steps cover all basic settings that are needed for the communication between the ADS and the application that processes the print scenario. Therefore, the communication uses a web service with basic authentication.

In an ABAP+Java system you normally do not need to configure the connection settings, because as of SAP NetWeaver 7.0, these are the default settings. You should check the configuration settings to verify that they are correct for your system. For example, if you changed the client of the ABAP system, you need to check the settings for the client information.
