LiveCycle modules

Modules provide the functional services that are required to build customer engagement applications that can be deployed to the LiveCycle Server. Here are examples of some of the business functions module offer:

• Encrypting PDF documents

• Applying policies or usage rights to PDF documents

• Converting an image to PDF

• Remote invocation of services

• Capturing data in Guides (deprecated)

Any additional modules you deploy provide the specific business functions that you build LiveCycle applications on. Some modules, such as LiveCycle Rights Management and LiveCycle Reader Extensions, include web-based interfaces that let users interact with components. For example, users can use the interfaces to apply policies or usage rights to documents that are part of a business processes. LiveCycle Workspace lets end users initiate and participate in form-based business processes.

Modules typically consume documents or produce documents. Module components can perform any of the following tasks:

• Render PDF forms

• Encrypt PDF documents with passwords

• Apply digital signatures to PDF documents

• Merge data into a simple PDF form

• Assemble information from multiple PDF documents into a single document

Using development tools, you can combine process management with electronic forms, document security, and document generation into a LiveCycle application. The application integrates components to ensure that business processes work inside and outside the firewall, and for users in online and offline environments.
