Acrobat XI Pro - can't edit a form from another version of Acrobat?

I've got a form I'm trying to edit to see how something worked with a form field. However, I can open it just fine in XI Pro, but when I do a Forms/Edit I get the following popup message: "This form cannot be edited in Acrobat. Please use Adobe LiveCycle Designer to edit this form."
I can open it just FINE on my old machine that has Acrobat 8 Pro with LiveCycle with no problem.
So, how is it that I can open AND edit this document in 8 Pro and not XI Pro?? I've been tinkering with a couple of different forms in XI Pro, and I assumed that LiveCycle must have been subsumed into Acrobat XI Pro itself, but this mystery would seem to indicate otherwise!
Help? Answers? Thoughts? Cookie recipes?
Thanks!!

You will need to get LiveCycle Designer, which is now a separate product.
XFA forms created with LiveCycle Designer can be either static or dynamic. Static ones are very similar to forms created in Acrobat (AcroForms) in their behavior. Dynamic forms can have auto-expnding text fields, rows added to and removed from tables, entire sections generated and removed at run time, and a number of other dynamic behavior. So which you choose really depends on what your needs are. Many static XFA forms could be created as AcroForms with no loss in functionality. A big downside to XFA forms nowadays is the lack of PDF viewers for mobile devices that support them. AcroForms have always had more support in general.
JavaScript is used in both XFA and AcroForms, but each has it's own object models. XFA forms also support FormCalc, which isn't a full blown programming language like JavaScript, but it does have a number of useful features.The types of controls are pretty much the same, though an XFA forms support an image field and a good number of 1D barcode types with bar code fields.

How can I edit my website from another computer? and how can I create a new website next to the one, I have already? Can anyone help, please?

Move the domain.sites file from one computer to the other.
The file is located under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites. Move this file to the same location on the other computer and double click and iWeb will open it. Remember, it is your User Library that you want and not your System Library, as you will not find iWeb there.
Just create a new site on the same domain file and it will appear below the other site. If you want them side by side then duplicate your domain file and have one site per a domain file and they can then be side by side.

I can't execute my forms from another machine

After a lot tears, blood and sweat, eventually I achieve to install successfully an IAS (server).
I probe it and realize that I can execute forms in the Navigator wich is in the IAS Server, but I can't execute it from another machine.
I now that the web server is Ok because I can see the main page of the web server (runform.htm) but since I introduce the name of the forms it can't find the page.
?What am I doing wrong?

If the IP address approach is working and the machine name is not, it may be that you need to have your machine added to your DNS server. The DNS server does the linking of your machine name to a IP address known by the server. If it is defined on the server, then make sure the machine you are trying to access the form from has that DNS server defined in its Network set-up.
Hope this helps.

You can read "About calling reports, displays, and other forms from generated forms" topic in the Designer on-line help. By the way in Forms there are CALL_FORM,OPEN_FORM and NEW_FORM built-ins.

If the form was created using LCD then it can only be edited there. This
application used to be bundled with Acrobat Pro, but that's no longer the
case. So if you want to edit this file then you need to purchase it, yes.

Acrobat X Pro - can you export to a editable InDesign document?

I have a few pdf files containing multiple pages which I have got corrupted indesign files of. Does anyone know if the 5.5 version and X Pro can export the pdf back to a working indesign file?

There is no way to export an InDesign file from any version of Acrobat.
That said, there is pretty good (but not inexpensive) software from Recosoft called PDF2ID which can CONVERT PDF files to InDesign files. Conversion implies that it can do a pretty good job in most cases.
http://www.recosoft.com/products/pdf2id/
According to the product description, "PDF2ID recreates the intended construction and layout of the document by forming paragraphs; applying styles; regrouping independent graphic elements; extracting images; creating tables; recovering annotations and other elements automatically. PDF2ID converts every page in a PDF file to an equivalent page in the resulting InDesign document."

How can I edit a form that has "Extend Features in Adobe Reader"?

I created a form in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and added Extend Features in Adobe Reader. I need to edit the form, but "Save a Copy" isn't removing the "Extend Features...". I get an error message that I can't edit the form & to "save a copy" in order to edit. What can I do?

When I saw the responses, I pulled out an old version and started over. I already deleted the one that wouldn't revert from extended functions and the copy I created to edit it based on removing extended functions with "save a copy". Thanks anyway. I'd love to know why it wouldn't remove extended functions.

I have opened scanned pages in to acrobat X1 pro and cannot edit, it says its not editable text how do I scan it as an editable text

I have opened scanned pages in to acrobat X1 pro and cannot edit, it says its not editable text how do I scan it as an editable text

All scanners output one thing only -- an image, a picture of the stuff on the paper that was scanned.
There is not "text". There is a picture of text characters.
This image / picture can be brought into a PDF. What is in the PDF is still an image / picture of text.
Open the PDF with Acrobat. Use Acrobat's OCR feature.
If you desire to touchup some characters use the "ClearScan" OCR.
(Review Acrobat's Help to resolve any questions on this.)
Note that PDF is not a word processor file format and does not tolerate word processor like "editing".
Use Acrobat to do touchups to characters and short character strings. Save As often.
Be well...

Acrobat XI Pro - can't re-install/download after uninstalling due to login problem

I have had CS6 via Creative Cloud for a few months now and the last couple of days when I've opened Acrobat XI Pro it says it's installed on another machine and I need to log in. I log in and it says it's a mis-matched ID, even though it's not.
This is a work computer/licence and is only installed on this machine under my name. We thought it may be confused because we've got a few licences and there was a big confusion and muck up with Adobe when we first ordered and downloaded, and my boss is using his on his work and home computers. So I uninstalled Acrobat and thought I would be able to just go to the Application Manager and download/install again, but it's not available to download, I guess it thinks I've already got it. Can't do it via https://creative.adobe.com/apps either.
I have no problems like this with the other programs; Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign.
How can I get Acrobat again?
Thanks

A restore won't get rid of the problem!!! **** crappy ****.
Is there anyway to send this question too Apple? Or do i have to spend the next hours on the phone with Apple Support?!

Help! adobe acrobat X pro. Cannot edit a pdf.

help! I have adobe acrobat X pro. Cannot edit a pdf. watched videos, followed directions, nothing. Tried tools, edit document text, recognize text, then tried even to change font, nothing.

What are you actually trying to do? Don't forget that Acrobat is not really an editor, but provides some tools to allow minor edits. If the file has security set, you may no be able to do anything.

I can not edit the form that I am filling in

I can not edit the form that I am filling out. I saved it to Desktop and was allowed to fill it in. But I can not erase some words that I want to change.

Are the words you want to change in form fields that you previously typed in?
