In normal circumstances, we will have a sequential rendering and printing of PDF forms by the Adobe Document Services. In this recipe, we will see how we can enable parallel printing through a small change in the code.

In the newer release, a special parameter has been added to the function module parameter FP_OPEN. It is recommended to set the PARALLEL parameter value to 'X' when there are more than thousand forms to be printed.

For having print request to be processed in parallel, the Adobe Document Services must be running on a Java Stack 7.2 or higher.
