Calling Form Server from WorkFlow Server

[Former Community Member]

I am calling Agent.createPDF(sData, sTemplate, bIsDynamic) to generate a PDF from WorkFlow in an OnComplete script. But I am getting the error below...



Failed to execute the OnComplete script of Task, "Return to Pupil".



There was an error while calling the Adobe Form Server.



WorkFlow and Form Server are on the same physical server. FSSamples and other Form Server functions appear to be working correctly.



Before I work with technical support... does anyone have any things I (and the systems administrator) should look at before tech support?



ALSO... if anyone is familiar with generating a PDF... do you know if I can set security and encryption with this or another call. I couldn't find anything in the on-line manuals.



Thanks,

JRA3,



Have not installed the two products together to test this functionality but you may want to revisit the order in which the installation was performed. Since they often share DLL versions installing them in the wrong order could prove to be an issue.



I would verify with Adobe Support in Ottawa.
