Edit LiveCycle PDF in Acrobat Pro DC?

Question

Hi all,

I hope I'm in the right forum for this question.

I'm working on a legal matter (probate) and the PDF forms I have to submit to the court need tweaking. For example,, the email field is not long enough. It won't accept the last 5 characters. There is supposed to be a field for Executors names & addresses but whoever created this form neglected to add one. It's a lot of little things like this...

When I try to Edit the form I get a warning message. "This form cannot be edited in Adobe Acrobat. Please use Adobe LiveCycle Designer. "

I've never used LiveCycle Designer and I suspect that if I tried it would prompt me for a password. Is there any workaround for this?

No workaround available, unless you re-create the file using Adobe Acrobat, from scratch, using the existing file as a basis.

And it's not certain it will ask you for a password if you opened this file in LCD. Only if it's secured.

Oh, and you would need to purchase LCD separately. It's no longer bundled with Acrobat Pro, like it used to be.
