Description

SAP NetWeaver Application Server system with Adobe Document Services (ADS)

Note that in interactive and print scenarios (for which the properties templateSource and dataSource are filled), Adobe Document Services must be available so that the form can be generated.

You can find details about the installation and configuration of Adobe Document Services in SDN under https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/adobe#section14 or in the Adobe Document Services Configuration Guide.

Various test programs are available to test the settings and connection to Adobe Document Services. The procedure is described in SAP Note 999998.

We recommend that you use the latest version provided by Adobe.

End of the recommendation.

Language Settings

To be able to display the form in the language you require, you have to specify a combination of language and country (locale) as well as ensure that the necessary translations are available.

The logon language of the system is used as the language.

You can specify the country in your user profile (transaction SU52) on tab page Parameters. Enter UCN as the Parameter ID and enter the short code of the required country as the Parameter Value (use the notation in the second column of table T005). Then save your entries.

Note Note

If no locale is maintained in the system, Adobe Document Services uses the relevant default value.

End of the note.

Constraints

Since the maintenance cycles of software products supported by Adobe are independent of the SAP release, you can find the current information in SAP Note 1098009.
