(n.b, Most of the content in this handout is still accurate for version 8 and 9 although some of the menu items and toolbars have changed.)
Acrobat 7 for Windows includes a new application, Adobe LiveCycle Designer that creates Acrobat forms from scratch and allows editing of form fields and all other text in a form and may include form functions that aren’t available in Acrobat. Forms can still be created and edited in Acrobat in the manner for previous versions. This handout is only for creating forms in Acrobat and does not include directions for Designer.
