When i try to create a new form, Adobe LiveCycle Designer opens automatically. In today's session with Lori, she changed everything right in Adobe Professional? How can I get this to work?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8.0, Windows

Hi Hawkeye,

If you want to create your form completely in Acrobat just open the PDF and use the Forms Tools provided in Acrobat (which is what Lori was doing today). The Forms Tools toolbar is located under View->Toolbars->More Tools. Check the box for Forms Tools and make sure all forms tools are checked. Now you can work and create fields for your form entirely in Acrobat.The reasoning behind taking you to a completely different program from Acrobat when you select Create a New Form is purely a marketing decision Adobe made when they decided to add LiveCycle Designer as a freebie with every Acrobat purchase.

Hope that helps,

Dimitri
