ADOBE interactive forms - not fillable

Hi all,

finally, we got the ADS server running and communication established.

In transaction SFP I can fill the form fields in pdf preview. Even after installation of Adobe Reader rights credential, I can not fill the form generated by ADS server.

Any idea what might be missing or what test I could do?

Thanks.

You didn't say if you flagged FILLABLE when calling the function module.

No, you said that you could fill the form in the SFP preview, you didn't say that you set parameter /1BCDWB/DOCPARAMS-FILLABLE to 'X' when calling the function module. These are 2 different things.

Search in forum , there are solutions given for that issue (problems with credentials). By the way, you have test programs (FP_PDF_TEST*) that you could use to test ADS.

Hello Sandra,

I am sorry.

This was an [earlier thread|; when we had the credentials not yet installed. Now the error persists and I am searching for a solution.

The main inconvenience is that I'm working for a huge company with tens of thousands of people spending most of the time to find someone else responsible for a solution.

And I have nearly no rights and no access to any basis transactions.

So I still hope that I get some hints from here that I can forward to the basis administration.

I could write a book about it: Since last summer I try to get it running...

Kind regards,

Clemens

I remember we had also many issues with credentials. Administrators told us many times it was okay, and finally there was a problem, but I don't know how they solved it.

Anyway, could you check that SAP test interactive forms work in your system by using program FP_TEST_IA_01 (preview it and save as).

If it doesn't work, we'll be sure it comes from credentials.

Moreover, you may check credentials added to your PDF file, by starting Adobe Reader, open the PDF file, click menu File, Properties, and display Protection tab. In my system, I see at the bottom "* only filling of form fields is permitted in this document" (or a message like that). Note: I have Adobe Reader 9.3.0.
