Designer is available in two ways: bundled with Adobe® Acrobat® Professional and
as part of the Adobe® LiveCycle® Enterprise Suite 4 (ES4) software platform.
As part of the LiveCycle platform, you use Designer with Adobe® LiveCycle® Workbench
11, where you create, manage, and automate business processes and forms.
You design the form and add objects in Designer, which operates
outside Workbench. When you create or open a form design, it opens
in Designer and a corresponding tab is displayed in Workbench.
Designer works with the files in your local file system. In Workbench,
you synchronize the files that you need from an application and
check in any forms created in Designer. You must also check in any
referenced files, such as images or fragments.
Using Designer with Acrobat Professional users can create, manage,
and automate business processes and forms. User can also consolidate
the data they receive from the people who are filling the form using
Adobe® Reader®.
