LiveCycle provides development tools so that various users,
from business analysts to (J2EE) developers, can collaborate on
the design, development, testing, and deployment of a LiveCycle
application.
- LiveCycle Workbench:
- An Eclipse-based development environment that lets users
build applications that consist of forms and business processes.
Form developers can create forms that have either a fixed layout
or a flowable layout. A fixed layout remains exactly as it
was designed; it does not change to accommodate the amount of incoming
data). A flowable layout expands or shrinks to accommodate
the amount of data being merged or entered. These forms can be rendered
by using a number of client technologies, such as PDF, HTML, and
Flash. Business analysts and process developers can use Workbench
to design and deploy business processes that leverage the modules.
- LiveCycle Designer:
- A graphical form design tool that simplifies the creation
of forms. Form designers can create applications that generate dynamic,
data-driven documents and produce customized business documents
for print, web, or archival. They can build and maintain data capture
solutions that read from, validate against, and add to corporate
data sources. With Designer, form developers can integrate PDF or
HTML5 documents into existing workflows by binding forms to XML
schemas, XML sample files, databases, and web services. They can merge
forms and documents that are created in Designer with business data
and render them as many file types. Some of these file types are
PDF, HTML5, and printing for PCL, Adobe PostScript® and
Zebra (ZPL) printers.
- Adobe Flash® Builder™:
- An Eclipse-based development environment for developing RIAs
with the Flex framework. Using Flash Builder 4.7, developers can quickly
build and deploy applications that are expressive, intuitive, and
interactive. Using Flash Builder, they can also customize their
applications to ensure an appearance that represents the needs of
end users.
- LiveCycle SDK:
- Provides developers with samples and tools that they can
use to build new LiveCycle applications or integrate with existing
applications.
