Adobe Livecycle Designer Pdf In Acrobat

Can someone please tell me whathowwhen LiveCycle appears when I create a fillable pdf in Acrobat Pro Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you. Ron w.

You should be able to find it in the Program FilesAdobeAcrobat X directory.

The XML format will be different than with LiveCycle Designer, but you would not be sending the complete PDF file.

If you are using Acrobat X Pro for Windows and LiveCycle Designer ES2 is not installed try to repair Acrobats installation.

Adobe Livecycle Designer Upgrade To Acrobat

LiveCycle Designer is no longer part of Acrobat XI Pro (Windows or Mac), but if you have Acrobat X Pro and upgrade to Acrobat XI Pro (Windows) you may be elegible for a free Adobe Livecycle Designer upgrade.

When you create a form in LiveCycle Designer you create what is called a XFA (XML Forms Architecture) form, that can be filled in Acrobat or Reader, Windows or Mac, but you can only edit and mantain it in LiveCycle Designer.

On the other hand, if you create a form in Adobe Acrobat Pro you create a AcroForm, where you have a PDF as a background and place the fields on it, on an overlay.

XFA forms are fundamentally different from regular AcroForms.

It would be possible to use LiveCycle Designer to build the background of a form, if you print it as PDF and use Acrobat Pro to place the fields on it.

If you have a PDF that is a XFA form and try to edit in Acrobat Pro you receive this message.
