The general ADS setup should be completed first between the AS Java system where the ADS component is installed and ABAP system where PDF printing should be configured.

After successfull completion of steps shown in above document we need to do further steps for enabling ADS functionality in Web Dynpro.

Prerequisites after basic setup is completed:

Make sure following USAGE TYPES are fully configured in AS JAVA System where ADS is configured and running.

• AS JAVA
• Adobe Document services
• PDF Export

Note: Missing Components need to be verified and deployed ( Please be careful to check the Software components which are missing and then try to implement first in sandbox or dev system first)

Observation : You will see 2 r 3 components related to BI Base Components missing from  Usage Type PDF Export

Once the SC are deployed if needed , we need to create a TCP/IP RFC in AS ABAP system where we want to enable ADS for web Dynpro.

This Document steps shows for following scenario:

RFC creation:

Now Create JCo RFC in AS JAVA System where ADS in installed.

Once saved start the program ID and check the status if its running, once confirmed please check the RFC created in AS ABAP system if the test connection works.

Note: ADS_AGENT user should have all the roles required and also need “s_rfc” role to be assigned.

Now check the results in Web Dynpro by doing a print preview in some reports and should get the ADS Format result.
