The Following Quesetion was asked in March, '07. I have the same problem and the answer below does not solve. I can not open Livecycle unless I start a new form design, then close it, and open my form I am in the process of designing.
thanks for the help.
Q: I just upgraded to 8.0 and now whenever I try to open LiveCycle Designed it opens Adobe Professional instead. The only work around that I have found is in Profession to click on "Create a new form". Any ideas on how I can get LiveCycle to open without having to go through Professional?
A:Hi Amandah17,
On a Windows system Adobe Designer can be opened from Start ->All Programs without having Acrobat Pro open.
Hope that helps,

Now you'll have a direct link to Designer from your desktop.
