What causes this issue?

For the inbound processing of PDF-based forms, you must define an <DS>
<DS:DE.FP_OFFLINE_HANDLER>inbound handler</></> in the Form Builder.
Based on this setting, a function module is generated to extract the
data from a PDF file and to transfer the data to the corresponding
interface.
For the relevant form, no inbound handler is defined and therefore no
function module is available to extract the data.
