ADS: The rule specified, requires Output PDF named: Nodes, does not exist.

Hi,

Sometimes you get bellow error when trying generating ADS forms:

“SYSTEM Error: com.adobe.ProcessingException: The rule specified,

requires Output PDF named: Nodes, does not exist.”

It should happens only on old releases like: NW701 SP-4/SP-6  and NW711 SP-2/SP-3/SP-4

So general recommendation is update ADS to newer release.

But you can also fix it doing bellow changes:

1. From OS level go to folder:

/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/AdobeDocumentServices/lib

2. Make a backup copy of operationRules.properties


3. Then edit this file and you can find a line:

requiresOutputPDF.Nodes=GetReviewCopy

4. Please comment that line inserting ‘#’ at begin of this line.

5. Save changes.

6. Then Stop/Start application com.adobe/AdobeDocumentServices

Regards.
