I'm trying to edit a PDF that was created in LiveCycle Designer and I get a warning box that says: "This form cannot be edited in Adobe Acrobat. Please use Adobe LiveCycle Designer to edit this form." I have the latest version of Acrobat Pro. Is there something additional I need to install to edit this form? Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, you need LiveCycle Designer. This is not just a warning, you cannot edit this file in Adobe Acrobat. There are two different forms systems in the world of PDF: AcroForms are forms that you can create and edit in Adobe Acrobat, and XFA - or LiveCycle Designer - forms, which are created in LiveCycle Designer.

I assume you are referring to LiveCycle Designer. As far as I know, there is no trial version. Back when it was bundled with Adobe Acrobat Pro, you could use it during the trial period, but now that it's unbundled, I am not aware of any way to do that anymore.
