I can't find it anywhere: Is LiveCycle Designer part of the Acrobat-Installation of Creative Cloud/Win?

This topic has been closed for replies.
Correct answer Sandeep_V_

Hi Eckart,

Yes I do.

LiveCycle Designer comes bundled with Acrobat X Pro. It's not listed as a seperate application. Once you get Acrobat X pro installed, LC Designer will be available in Start Menu.

Forgot to add this - You shouldn't be on Mac OS X. For there is no LC Designer on Mac.

I did some research. Apparently the IRS will accept Only one kind of signature for W-9, all others are blocked. You must use pen and ink. This is neither s fault in Reader nor a moneymaking scheme by Adobe.

The "moneymaking scheme" is a silly appellation because all businesses scheme to make money, and I am a friend of Adobe.  My aggravation is that I got CC thinking I was leasing ALL the programs I would need to manage PDF editing, and this other program is apparently very expensive.  It was Adobe's alert that said I needed LiveCycle Designer.

The IRS certainly does not advise anywhere that only pen and ink will do;  the rest of the form is very efficiently designed to accept computer entries.  It was only when I attempted to insert my signature as a jpeg that it balked.

Anyway, bottom line is that I did print it out, sign it, then scan it to email to my employer.

The message is true. You don't want to edit it. LiveCycle Designer is not for signing forms, buying it wouldn't do a bit of good.

I wouldn't buy it.  That was Adobe's message to me, when I tried to insert a jpeg of my signature.  The form allows insertion of text, but not images.

LiveCycle is NOT part of any version / pricing of Creative Cloud. It's very disappointing.

I have the mega-super-everything CC @ 49 fracking dollars month and it does NOT have LiveCycle. It's a stand alone suite at $299.

They should call it Adobe CC "Complete Minus LiveCycle"

    Just a note that LiveCycle is itself a large suite, enormously more expensive than Creative Cloud (think 5 figures). LiveCycle DESIGNER is a part of that, and also sold standalone.

      Currently, LiveCycle Designer is only available as a stand alone app that you have to download from Adobe, trial or purchase. Also, it is only available for WINDOWS (NO Mac version). It is NOT part of Creative Cloud.

      Here is the link to download:

      I have creative cloud - have installed Acrobat XI Pro, and cannot find Lifecycle anywhere.  It is NOT in the start menu.  When I try to open a PDF with a form, I get the (un)helpful message that Acrobat cannot edit the form and I need Lifecyle.  It then directs me to the Lifecycle webpage which does not help either.  HOW do I open Lifecycle???  Thanks in advance...

        LC Designer is no longer included as part of AA XI. If you want to continue to use it without purchasing in separately, do not uninstall your previous version of Acrobat that had LC Designer included. The process of forms for AA XI has changed a bit with a different option than LC Designer. AcroForms is still part of Acrobat.

        Yes, it's the the part of the Acrobat installation of Creative Could. I have tested this at my end and with Acrobat. LC Designer was also installed.

        Which Creative Suite are you trying to install? Do you get Acrobat Standard after installation? If this is the case, LiveCycle Designer is not a part of the Standard flavour of Acrobat.

        Feel free to write back.

        Dear Sandeep,

        I am sure you know Adobe's latest model of subscription service started here on may 11, 2012: The Creative Cloud with all the programs of CS6 Master Collection and many more.

        See here: http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud.html

        There is no information about LiveCycle Designer as part of Acrobat in this Cloud-Suite.

        So I hope someone out there tried and installed it from CREATIVE CLOUD.

        Thank you,

        Eckart.
