The Forms service renders interactive PDF forms or XDP
files to client devices such as a web browser. After an interactive
form is rendered, a user can enter data into form fields and click
a submit button to send information back to the Forms service. Adobe
Reader® or Acrobat must be installed on
the computer hosting the client web browser for an interactive PDF
form to be visible.
Before you can render a form using the Forms service, you must
create a form design. Typically, a form design is created in Designer
and is saved as an XDP file.
Note: In LiveCycle 7.x releases, the Forms service
created non-tagged PDF files by default. In LiveCycle ES3, the Forms
service creates tagged PDF files by default.
