Creating Forms for Process Management

Designer can create form designs that are used in LiveCycle applications. A LiveCycle application is a solution that consists of a process and its associated assets (form design, images, and fragments), which represent an automated process. A LiveCycle application is typically developed in Workbench. To learn more about creating a LiveCycle application, go to Creating Your First LiveCycle Application.

Adobe® LiveCycle® Workspace 11 is the browser-based component of Adobe® LiveCycle® Process Management 11, which lets end users participate in automated form-based business processes. Using Workspace, users can perform these tasks:

  • Fill forms that initiate a business process.

  • Open forms that have been routed to the user or to a group queue to review, approve, or provide more information.

  • Search for forms that are part of a completed business process or active processes that the user has initiated or participated in.

    Suppose a business process involves the handling of mortgage applications. A form developer creates the form design for use in the process, which is created in Workbench. Then, mortgage applicants can fill the application form electronically by using Workspace. A loan officer or bank manager can also approve the application using Workspace.

    With Process Management, you can render a form design to a client in these output types:

  • HTML

  • PDF

  • Note: To use a form that was created in Acrobat in Workspace, you must use Acrobat to prepare the form design. For instructions, see “Leveraging Acrobat forms in Workspace” in Application Development Using Workbench.
