SAP Forms by Adobe: How to try out
https://account.hanatrial.ondemand.com/cockpit
Note:
If you are going to check it out, please keep in mind that there are a few limitations compared to the official version:
-
-
- the trial period is 30 days
- you can send up to 300 requests (max. 5 pages per request)
-
Once you are logged on, you can use a self-service to enable SAP Forms by Adobe (this self-service is only available on the trial landscape for external customers).
Choose Services from the navigation panel to access the list of available services. As you can see, SAP Forms by Adobe is still in status not enabled:
Click on the service to access the detail view. The configuration links at the bottom of the screen are still disabled. To activate them, just press Enable:
For the remaining setup tasks just follow the steps described in SAP Forms by Adobe documentation and you can start exploring all the features that this service provides.

Hi Frank,
thank you for this. Can you also share some insights about the technical point of view. What about the sizing of the ADS? What do you need to know when starting with ADSonHCP?
Or is it just the "I want to" sign?
Hi Florian,
thanks a lot for your comment.
You can find detailed technical information about ADS on HCP in the SFaaS documentation, as well as a short description in my other SFaaS blog posts, both linked at the bottom of this blog post.There you can get information about the features, system requirements and setup procedures.
In case you have any specific questions, don't hesitate to ask, I'll try my best ;-). More blog posts may follow at a later time.
Best regards
Frank
Hi Frank,
I wanted to try this service on my trial account.
I have enabled the service and maintained the roles, I but I received a blank screen when I clicked "Launch configuration tool". Could you please point me which configuration I missed?
Also I don't see this service on my productive account, do you have time plan when this service will be available for productive?
Thanks,
Wira
Hi Wira,
thanks a lot for your comment.
Unfortunately I cannot reproduce your link problem. For me it works fine. Also, this shouldn't be a configuration problem: once the service is enabled, the link should work.
Possibly there is a temporary server problem and you should retry after a while.
Regarding the form service on your productive account: basically it is available in the productive environment, but you can only display and use it after purchasing a dedicated HCP license for the Form Service by Adobe. In order to do so, please contact your local account executive.
Best regards
Frank
Hi Frank,
Thank you for your quick reply.
It seems that the link works only on certain browsers, I just tried it again with google chrome and I could see the SAP ADS Configurations. Thanks.
Regarding the productive account, thank you for the information. I will play around a bit on trial account and will see if this service is suitable for our needs.
Thanks,
Wira
Hi Wira,
yes that's correct (sorry, forgot to mention this):
For the Config Tool you need IE >10 or Chrome (recommended). See also:
Configuration Tool for ADS on HCP (Section Prerequisites).

Hello Frank,
Thank you for the published documentation about ADS service.
I've tried to configure a RFC destination on S4 Hana 1511, but I get an exception raised when I execute the test program FP_PDF_TEST_00
"SYSTEM ERROR: SOAP Framework error: SOAP Runtime Exception: CSoapExceptionTransport : HTTP receive failed with exception communication_failure (100.101)."
Do you have any ideas where I'm wrong on my configuration?
The user set in RFC destination is corresponding to HCP account ID?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Kind regards,
Huy MA
Hello Franck,
i tried to setup the connection using my trial account but when I test the connection in sm59 or with the test program I can see an error in debug: no tenant for this user.
Is the address for the connection in sm59 the same if we use a trial account and should we have trial at the end of the username?
thanks in advance for any help you can provide us.
