How to fix this error?

If you still want to assign this ADS file to the current printer, for
example because a different ADS server is used to print IFbA forms (SAP
Interactive Forms by Adobe), and the XDC file exists on that server,
choose ENTER to continue.
Otherwise, change the name and/or author of the XDC file.
If you do not want to assign any special XDC files to the printer,
delete the content of the field. In this case, the XDC file for printing
IFbA forms assigned by default by the SAP device type is used on this
printer.
