A job profile defines statements that the Adobe Document Services execute in an interactive form. This allows you, for example, to change the paper format by means of a job profile, or to execute an additional function that is called dynamically by the Adobe Document Services .

Prerequisites for Using Job Profiles
To be able to use job profiles, you require Adobe Document Services version 800.20070401.012023 or higher. If you are using an older version of Adobe Document Services , any job profiles transferred are ignored.
Job profiles are only supported for interactive forms with the UI element property displayType = native (that is, ZCI-based).
Job profiles are only supported for forms with an XML form interface.
Notes on Using Job Profiles
Note that a job profile is applied directly to a form by Adobe Document Services . Apart from the name of the job profile, no additional information is made available to the Web Dynpro with respect to the type of additional statements that are used on the form.
A job profile is a subsequent modification of the Web Dynpro ABAP framework in Adobe Document Services . Some of these modifications are not permitted in Web Dynpro ABAP and are therefore not supported by SAP:
For example, it is not permitted to convert a print form to an interactive form by using a job profile, or vice versa.
Using a job profile to set a password is also not supported.
The following rule generally applies:
SAP supports only those job profiles that do not influence how a Web Dynpro application functions.
To identify the cause of any errors that occur in an application that uses job profiles, first ensure that your application actually runs without errors when no job profiles are used. If this is the case, the cause of the error most probably originates in the job profile used and is not the result of a Web Dynpro application error.
An example in which job profiles are used is available in the demo Web Dynpro application DEMO_IFBA_JOB_PROFILE in the system.
