  Authorization Issues: In some cases, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the Adobe form, which can lead to this error.

  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction (e.g., NACE for output types) and check the configuration for the output type you are using. Ensure that the Adobe form name is correctly specified in the output type settings.
  If you are using a custom output type, ensure that the form name is correctly assigned in the associated settings.

  Check for Custom Development:
  
  If you are using a custom-developed Adobe form, ensure that the form is properly activated and that the name matches what is specified in the configuration.
