    It is necessary to configure ADS (Adobe Document Services) in order to upload forms in transaction SFP.

    Therefore in order to resolve this error please configure ADS correctly and make sure ADS is working.

    You can configure the ADS with the help of ADS configuration guides provided in SAP document 894009 and troubleshoot the issues related ADS with the help of SAP document 944221.
