I'm a web designer and created a site for a client that I have also created a form in livecycle for them. This form is to be filled out by their customers before they come in for their scheduled appointment. The customers will access the form from my client's website. The idea is to have the form filled out online, then submitted to my client's email, in pdf form, so they can then print it out, and give it to their technicians to write notes on, as well as view it on their computer. My client does not have livecycle on their computer. Is it possible to have the forms work this way? And if so, how, and what will my client need on their computer to make this work?

Yes, this is absolutely possible. However, is your customer looking to receive just the data of the form or the entire form itself?
For proper functionality of the Designer based form you may need to license Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES to enable the submit PDF by email function.
If they can use just the data, then the solution should work as is (the XDP data is submitted as the default method).
As an alternative you can have the form do a http post to post the data or the form itself to a back-end application such as a JSP or simple CF application that captures & formats the information received from the post. This works well and creates a better interface for the user than a simple HTML form. You can also respond with an other HTML page thanking them for the details.
