Purchased Acrobat XI, need to edit a form, I need livecycle to do so, can't install trial on my Mac?

Question

My boss put Acrobat Pro XI on my Mac, I need the lifecycle to edit a form but don't know how often I'll need this tool. When I tried to download the trial, it didn't seem to support mac OS, what is the deal?

Answer 1

To create and edit PDF forms you need Acrobat Standard as a minimum.
If those forms require Extended Rights applied to do the following, you need Acrobat Pro:
Allow Adobe Reader users prior to version XI to save filled-in forms
Allow Adobe Reader users to complete digital signature fields
See http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/product-comparison.html
Normally the underlying page layout of a form is created and edited in the original application (Word, InDesign, etc.) and Acrobat is only used to add the interactive fields after the PDF has been created. Acrobat Pro can do basic editing of page content but it's a long way from a word processor!
'Acrobat Plus' is simply a subscription version of Acrobat Pro with Adobe's cloud-based  storage and tools included. The software itself is indentical to the regular Pro version.
