I am using Live Cycle Designer 8.
 
The end users have Reader 7.
 
How can I make sure that the form I am desiging will be compatible with that reader? Thank you

One option is to write a JavaScript that checks the Reader version when the file is opened and display an alert informing the user to up grade Reader.

The simple way is to check the Compatibility tab in the doc properties to make sure Reader 7 is shown and save the form as a Static PDF or Dynamic XML for version 7.

Always test your forms before distribution.
