What is the purpose of "Adobe Credential " in the server site ?

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have read some installation pre-requisite in the server site for implement SAP Adobe Interactive form in the FAQ :

1. SAP Web AS 6.40 Java (for all scenarios)

2. SAP Web AS 6.40 ABAP (if you are looking at high-volume print scenarios)

3. Adobe document services (run-time component)

4. Adobe Credential (for creating interactive PDF forms).

could you please give me some enlighteening on the number 4 ? is that compusory ?

Thank You and Best Regards

Hi Fernand,

4. Adobe Credential (for creating interactive PDF forms).
could you please give me some enlighteening on the number 4 ? is that compusory ?

The type of credential they are referring to in 4) is a Readers Right credential. Basically it is a special file of the form PKCS #12 that you install on your ADS system to enable your users using interactive forms to be able to save data into the form using Adobe Reader. It's a usage rights credential, without which you will not be able to save data in a PDF document. You will need to decide from a business point of view whether it is required or not as it is not compulsory unless you use interactive forms.

You also get other credentials for digital signatures and certification.
