Setting Up Authentication for Adobe Forms in Java Web Dynpro

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 Java Engine and have the destination URL as default.

If the Adobe document services are not provided on the Java Engine on which the Web Dynpro runtime environment is deployed, you must change the destination URL of the Adobe document services.

More information: Creating a User in AS Java for Basic Authentication in the Adobe Document Services Configuration Guide.

The user ADSUser exists.
