Mac version of LiveCycle Designer?

I'm sorry, I know this has been asked before but I can't find a straight answer.
Is there a Mac version of LiveCycle Designer?
Our office is upgrading to CS5 Design Premium. If we buy the Mac version, will we get LiveCycle Designer? (bundled with Acrobat 9 Pro?)
It seems the forum users say no, but two Adobe reps have told me yes. I don't know who to believe.
Thank you

Hi,
No joy!
When LS Designer is bundled with Acrobat, it ONLY comes with the Windows version.
As far as I know, LC Designer is not available for the Mac, as the background Enterprise Suite is a Windows solution.
I have CS5 Design Premium for Mac and it does not have LC Designer. I do have  a standalone Acrobat 9 Pro Extended for Windows and it does have LC Designer bundled.
One last point: in future releases LC Designer will not be available as a standalone purchase. See http://forms.stefcameron.com/2010/01/14/purchase-designer-es2-upgrade/
Good luck,
Niall

  • Trial Version of LiveCycle Designer 7.1 Missing PDF Preview

    Following the HELP/Getting Started instructions to test 7.1, I notice that I do not have the "PDF Preview" tab next to the "Body Pages" tab. I never noticed this missing tab until the final steps of the exercise instruct me to use it. I would really like to continue in the tutorial, but until I get this figured out, I don't want to waste time if the product is faulty. (I was really getting into it...when my heart sank!) Can anyone help me?

    In addition, it is my understanding and experience (with version 6) that it must be installed
    b prior
    to installing LiveCycle Designer. If that requirement continues with version 7 that means that at this point you would have to uninstall LiveCycle Designer, install Acrobat or the latest Reader and then reinstall LiveCycle Designer.
    I suggest you save your work (forms, custom library elements, etc) before uninstalling so you can restore it after reinstalling.

  • Most recent version of LiveCycle Designer

    I've recently moved to Windows 7 and am having trouble being able to preview forms in LiveCycle. I'm also getting an error when I open the in Reader XI. I'm not sure if these errors are related to W7 or XI.
    I'm currently I running version 9.0.0.2.20101008.2.720808
    Also, below is a message I'm starting to see when opening up old forms.
    Invalid enumerated value: validationState - The fault occured on line 114
    Any ideas how i can get everything compatible?
    Thanks,
    Patrick

    Attached is the form. I even upgraded to Adobe Pro XI.
    enabling extended features is a little different...
    I click on file>save as other>Reader Extended PDF>Enable More Tools
    Not sure is that is the correct method or not.
    The email functionality works fine for me but another using opening in adobe XI reader - email functionality doesn't work.
    Link to file below.
    Thanks! PC

  • Problem removing trial version of LiveCycle Designer in order to install new and input license key

    User installed the trial version and has been using it. Now that we have a license key to enter, they have tried to remove it so they can reinstall and enter the key. They get a mesage that there is a problem with the install and it will not remove it. We have tried to reinstall it. When they do that,  they receive message that the package is corrupt. We have downloaded the package fresh a number of times now.
    How can we remove the trial version so we can get it installed with the key ?
    I set up a second system and installed the trial version. I then removed it with no issue. I used the same package the user has downloaded.

    Please try this utility : http://support.microsoft.com/mats/program_install_and_uninstall/en

  • LiveCycle Designer vs. LiveCycle Designer ES

    Hello,
    Is LiveCycle Designer same as LiveCycle Designer ES??
    I received an "extra" application when I recently bought Acrobat Professional. The title bar says it is LiveCycle Designer. Everywhere I look for information on Adobe site all I see is LiveCycle Designer ES. Even when I purchased I tried to find out more about this extra product and found the site very confusing.
    I don't trust Adobe enough to assume the two are the same.
    So far, I have found Designer to be hard to work with and it has crashed several times, generally during copy/paste of page elements. It's so bad I thought perhaps the product I had was a beta or very early version and went to look for service packs or updates. My Acrobat Pro says it's the latest version and LiveCycle Designer doesn't seem to know what it is...
    Thanks,
    Bob

    Hello,
    thanks for the reply.
    Why the heck don't they put ES on the title bar then and eliminate some of their confusion?
    Someone at Adobe needs to step back and take a look at their business from the perspective of people NEW to Adobe. I for one have only ever used the Reader and Acrobat in the past.
    Seems like their marketing department has mastered technobabble.
    Perhaps users are either Adobe or not Adobe. I for one find adobe.com and the Adobe product array terribly confusing and unorganized.

  • Embed video youtube in LiveCycle Designer ES

    ich habe versucht embed video youtube in Designer ES einzubinden. Leider gibt es da nicht. Ich habe es mir überlegt, HTML-Datei in Designer ES zu importieren. Die Fehlermeldung zeigt an. Vielleicht kann einer von euch helfen das zu lösen.

    Was du vorhast ist bislang nicht möglich.
    Acrobat / Reader X unterstützen zwar schon XFA 3.3, das es ermöglicht Flash-Dateien in XFA-Formulare einzubetten, aber bislang gibt es noch keine Version des LiveCycle Designer, die diese Funktion unterstützt.
    Du wirst auf die nächste Version warten müssen, wann immer die auch veröffentlicht wird.
    Youtube-Videos müsstest du dann aber auch immer erst in Flash umwandeln.

  • XPD File compatibility  LiveCycle Designer 7.1 to ES4

    I have an extensive library of xdp files developed using LiveCycle Designer 7.1.
    The hard drive on my laptop was recently wiped clean during an OS upgrade and LiveCycle was lost.
    I can't find a reliable site from which to download a 7.1 install set so the question is:
    Will I be able to create and  maintain both new and the existing .xdp files using the latest version of LiveCycle Designer?  (I think that is ES4)

    Acrobat Standard or Acrobat Pro is required to save form data, unless you buy Reader Extensions server from Adobe.

  • Inclusion of LiveCycle Designer with Acrobat Pro 8.0

    Are there any restrictions to LiveCycle Designer that's furnished with Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.0 ?
    I've checked the validity of my copy of Acrobat Pro 8.0, including the installation S/N, with Adobe Customer Service.
    After Installation and activation...
    When I launch LiveCycle Designer, I get a time-out message saying that my copy of LiveCycle designer will expire in a few days.
    All the advertising and Adobe-published data sheets give no indication that the copy of LiveCycle Designer is a 30-day eval copy. Customer Service's only comment was I needed to upgrade to Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0!
    When I asked if the version of LiveCycle Designer that was included in 9.0 was a full and not eval version - all they would say was, "you need to upgrade to 9.0"
    Does anyone have any additional information on this?
    (Thanks)
    DB

    J.R.
    I believe I used the vista un-install. Eventually, I wound up un-installing ALL the Adobe products on the machine, then deleted everything under C:\Program Files\Adobe. Finally, I ran Registry Mechanic to try and catch anything the un-install might have missed.
    Since the original posting I've noticed other postings regarding timeout issues with the eval copy of Acrobat. This might be related.
    I'll try support & see what they say.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Hiding pages in Adobe Livecycle Designer Form

    I have a form with many pages.  I want page (1) active and visible.  I want all other pages invisible unless the corresponding sn field on page (1) is filled in.
    Example
    Page 1
    sn for page 2 entries
    sn for page 3 entries
    sn for page 4 entries
    etc
    page 2, page 3, page 4, etc should be visible only if something is entered in the sn field of page (1).  Like, "If sn for page 2 = null than page 2 "hidden".
    Can this be done?
    Sorry, new to livecycle
    Thanks!

    Hi All,
    I figured the solution. The Design View is the former Body Pages Tab. SAP has apprently dropped the Body Pages Tab in the newer version of LiveCycle Designer and called it the Design View.
    Treat the Design View as the former Body Page.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers!

  • Difference between Windows and Mac versions

    Could anyone tell me whether the files generated by the Mac version of In-design stricly identical to the *.indd and other files (templates, libraries) generated under Window? If not, what are the differences? Thanks in advance for any help.

    There is no significant difference, but they will not be bit-for-bit identical.
    For instance, the INDD file format records which version and platform of InDesign created the file, so that small piece of information will certainly differ. Also, historically, when Macs used non-Intel processors with different byte order, ID may have stored some numbers in reversed byte order. But since everything is Intel now, that's not an issue.
    In any case, there is 100% compatibility between both platforms. Mac ID can read Windows ID and vice versa.

  • What is the latest version of adobe livecycle designer for mac?

    Hello Guys,
    I am new for Adobe LiveCycle Designer.
    Can some one guide me what is the latest version for Mac.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    HARI

    Hi HARI,
    Yes, that short video is demonstrating LC Designer (albeit an earlier version).
    The video is showing how to create a dynamic form, where you can add and remove items at runtime and have other dynamic features. Do develop this type of form you will need LC Designer ES2 (current version 9). As I said this runs on Windows, so you would need a virtual machine on the Mac to run Windows.
    LC Designer comes with Acrobat X Pro for Windows (Note it does NOT come with Acrobat X Pro for Mac). See http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/matrix.html.
    You also need to consider what your users will have to fill in the forms: Acrobat OR Reader. There are some features that will not be available in Reader unless you Reader enable the form. For example users with Reader will not be able to save their data in a form that has not been Reader enabled.
    More info on that here: http://assure.ly/gYyYc2
    You can also see some short sample forms here, which will give you an idea on some of the dynamic features: http://assure.ly/eEPuCM. All of these were created with LC Designer.
    Forms that are created in LC Designer are in accordance with the XFA specification. They are wrapped in a PDF wrapper that allows then to be opened in Acrobat/Reader. However they are not like a standard/native PDF and some standard Acrobat features, like commenting may not be available.
    You can also create forms directly in Acrobat, these are called AcroForms. They can be used to collect data, but generally don't have the same level of dynamic behaviour that you saw in the video.
    There are plenty of examples on the forums, so I would recommend that you explore these before you make any purchase. There can be a learning curve, depending on whether you have scripted before. 
    Hope that helps,
    Niall

  • LiveCycle Designer for Mac?

    Will LiveCycle Designer be available for Mac owners in CS5?

    Hi,
    Drawing from previous responses and blogs - LC Designer will only be available through Adobe Pro and Workbench. See Stefan's blog here.
    If you are purchasing Workbench then it will automatically come bundled.
    However if you are getting CS5 you could run into difficulties. Mac versions of Creative Suite that include Acrobat Pro, do not have LC Designer at all.
    I am running CS4 on a Mac and had to purchase a separate Acrobat (for Windows) license in order to get LC Designer running on Windows 7 (on Parallels).
    Because LC Designer is part of the overall Enterprise Suite, which is Windows based, it is unlikely that the LC Designer component will appear as a Mac version. But I could be wrong - wouldn't be the first time ;-)

  • Adobe LiveCycle Designer & Mac?

    Please help me understand this:
    I have a Mac.
    I have Acrobat Pro XI via the Creative Cloud.
    There is a button within Acrobat Pro XI that says "Edit Text & Images"
    When I press this button it says
    "This form cannot be edited in Acrobat. Please use Adobe LiveCycle Designer to edit this form."
    This is a software that isn't available on Mac, correct?
    I hope I don't need to state in any detail how useless / lazy this user experience design is.
    Instead, there are questions, so many questions:
    1. Why is there a button that does nothing.
    2. Why does the help text for the button that does nothing request that I use a software I cannot run.
    3. Are you seriously asserting that Mac users cannot edit a PDF via your software?

    Thank you for the replies - the nature of this, however, is that an enduser who isn't 100% savvy with the tool that was used to create the PDF wants to edit the PDF and cannot.
    It is useful to know that there are distinctions between the types of PDFs or how they were saved, even though the PDF content itself isn't anything out of the ordinary. I had edited forms exactly like this form in Acrobat Pro 8, for example.
    I understand keeping the standards intact - ie, keeping it a PDF file - but there should be some sort of obvious feedback in the software. When looking at the info on MacOS it does state that it was created using LiveCycle 8.2. I wish it was more obvious in Acrobat and that options to edit were not selectable with a tangential error message!
    So the question really becomes a statement: Hey, make this kind of PDF editable / createable in Mac. It is more understandable that since the creator wasn't in Mac, editing it isn't supported in Mac.
    I was blinded by the fact that the PDF itself is less complicated than others that I could easily edit in previous versions of Acrobat Pro, literally just changing typos!
    Thanks again everyone. Happy holidays
