Print Preview not working for Adobe forms

[Former Member]

Hello experts,

I am new to designing of Adobe forms. I have the following installations already in place:

1. ADS

2. Designer 7.0

3. Adobe Reader 8.0

I am trying to execute the standard report FP_EXAMPLE_01 to test whether Adobe forms work coherently with my system config is fine.

When trying to execute thsi report prg , I get a very perculiar message on clicking on print preview bttn "ADS: Request start time: Tue Feb 05 12:25:05 IST 2008(200.101) "

Now I am not sure whether it is a Basis issue with the ADS config or Printer settings ?

Please advise.

Regards,

Sonika

Hi Sonika,

That is not required functionality. it should display a Adobe Form for Invoice processing.

I doubt there might be some problem with ADS configuration.

Can you please do the following test and let me know the result ?

If the Adobe Interactive Forms have been installed correctly, the

following tests should run without errors:

First test:

1) Call transaction SE38.

2) Enter the report name "FP_PDF_TEST_00" and choose "Execute" (or press F8).

3) Enter "ADS" in the entry field for the connection, and choose

"Execute" (or press F8).

4) The system should issue a dialog box containing the current version

information.

Second test:

1) Call transaction SE38.

2) Enter the report name "FP_TEST_00" and choose "Execute" (or press

F8).

3) Enter "FP_TEST_00" for the form, "2" for the number of output pages,

and "ADS" for the ADS connection. The choose "Execute".

4) Enter a valid output device and choose "Print Preview".

5) The Adobe Reader should be displayed in the GUI, and display two

pages with numbered lines.

Third test:

1) Call transaction SE38.

2) Enter the report name "FP_TEST_IA_01" and choose "Execute" (or press

F8).

3) Enter "FP_TEST_IA_01" for the form, "ADS" for the ADS connection, and

any data in the other entry fields (these are already filled with

default values). Then choose "Execute" (or press F8).

4) Enter a valid output device and choose "Print Preview".

5) The Adobe Reader should be displayed in the GUI, and display a page

with address fields.

6) Scroll down to the frame for the new address, and fill in those

fields.

At the end of the form, an entry field for the date and a value help

exists. Choose the input help button and check if the system displays

the datepicker.

Now you will know yourself if there is any problem with ADS configuration.

Hi,

The first two tests work ok

FP_PDF_TEST_00

FP_TEST_00

The following tests fail

FP_CHECK_DESTINATION_SERVICE

FP_TEST_IA_01

Any insights Please.

Thanks,

NJ
