Adobe Rights Management – LiveCycle Rights Management ES2 Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management ES2 provides some controls over sharing information, but a magazine or an ebook publisher is not sharing their information with you so much as showing it to you – just like a newspaper – you buy it to read it, not to copy it into your computer and then do analysis on it or ship it on to friends and family. Adobe LiveCycle Designer - recommended versions: 1317925 - Maintaining backward compatibility with Designer.
LiveCycle is used to build web applications that allow an enterprise or government body to interact with its customers and partners. For instance, HM Courts Service is using it to build a system that will provide electronic filing and management services to users such as legal firms.
LiveCycle Enterprise Suite 2 (ES2), announced at the Adobe Max 2009 conference in Los Angeles, includes improvements to developer productivity, better integration with Flash and PDF technologies, integration with the Flash Builder developer tool, a new collaboration service, a new framework for rapidly assembling web applications and more options for access by mobile devices.
As of early next year, developers will be able to deploy LiveCycle ES2 as managed production instances on the cloud via the Amazon Web Services cloud computing environment, according to Adobe. The cloud-based deployment option, designed to reduce cost of ownership, will include round-the-clock monitoring by Adobe and support including product upgrades.
Developer productivity improvements include a new set of Solution Accelerators, which provide best practice methodologies, UI and process templates and code building blocks for particular types of applications.
The new accelerators include a Benefits and Services Delivery Solution Accelerator for government bodies, an Electronic Submissions Solution Accelerator for life sciences organisations and a Human Capital Applications Solution Accelerator for businesses and government entities, Adobe said in a statement.
ES2 is more 'consumerised' than the first iteration of the suite, which came out in 2007, Adobe senior systems engineer Rupert Knowles told ZDNet UK on Thursday. 'People expect enterprise systems to behave in the same way as consumer experiences,' Knowles said, noting that this shift is seen in the slicker user interface and the increased emphasis on collaboration in the updated software.
A new plug-in for Adobe Flash Builder 4 beta allows developers to embed LiveCycle ES2 technologies into any Flash-based application, the company said. The update also includes the new LiveCycle Collaboration Service, a hosted service that allows real-time, multi-user collaboration to be built into existing or new web applications.
LiveCycle Mosaic ES2, another new feature, is a framework for rapidly assembling web applications using user interface application components called 'tiles'.

Finally, LiveCycle Workspace ES2 Mobile gives users access to LiveCycle ES2 from iPhone, BlackBerry and Windows Mobile devices, allowing users to interact with tasks remotely.
LiveCycle ES2 is expected to become available before the end of 2009.

Adobe LiveCycle Designer is a forms authoring tool published by Adobe Systems, intended as a one-stop design tool to render XML forms as PDF or HTML files.
History[edit]
Designer began as a component of PerForm, an Electronic forms software package created by Delrina. Delrina was bought by Symantec in 1995, which subsequently sold its Electronic Forms division to JetForm in 1996. JetForm (later renamed Accelio) was purchased by Adobe in 2002. Adobe ended the support of the Accelio version of the product in 2004.
In late 2003, Designer was redesigned and released as the Adobe Forms Designer.
In March 2004, Adobe shipped Adobe Designer 6.0 for use with Adobe's Intelligent Document Platform and with version 6 of the Adobe Acrobat software. This release included support for creating dynamic forms with data propagated by the Adobe Form Server, support for the XML Data Package (XDP) file format, as well as importing existing forms from Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Output Designer, Microsoft InfoPath and Microsoft Word.
In December 2004, Adobe released Designer as Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.0 as part of the LiveCycle suite of products. This release added the ability to create dynamic forms that do not require the Adobe Form Server for dynamic features, tools for creating Email submissions, and the Paper Forms barcode tool. Designer 7.0 is bundled with Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0 (on Microsoft Windows only) and available as a stand-alone product. In December 2005, Adobe released Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.1 as a stand-alone upgrade. Acrobat 8 shipped in November 2006 bundled with a new version of LiveCycle Designer (version 8).
LiveCycle Designer was included with Adobe Acrobat Pro Version 9. It is included in Adobe Acrobat X Pro as Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES2, but it is sold separately since Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. However, owners of a prior licensed version of Acrobat Professional who qualify for and purchase an upgrade to Adobe Acrobat XI Professional also qualify for a [http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/upgrade-livecycle-designer-acrobat-xi.html free upgrade to LiveCycle Designer ES4.
The core support for Adobe LiveCycle ES4 ended March 2018. Adobe suggests upgrading to Adobe Experience Manager Forms.[1]
Features[edit]
- Designer forms are structured documents with a hierarchical structure that can be converted into XML. This structure can include structure from XML Schema and example XML files.
- Designer forms can be saved as PDF files or XDP files. XDP files are used by the Adobe LiveCycle Form Server to render files to PDF or HTML as needed.
- PDF forms made in Designer can be designed to be dynamic (changing layout in response to data propagated from other sources), interactive (capable of accepting user input) or both. As of Designer 7.0, dynamic features of these PDF forms can be manipulated by the Adobe Form Server during the rendering process, or by the Adobe Acrobat/Acrobat Reader client during viewing.
- Designer allows JavaScript to be embedded into a form, allowing programmatic changes to the form layout as well as communication with various data sources (SOAP, OLEDB).
- Besides JavaScript, Designer includes a proprietary scripting language called FormCalc (in Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES2).
Limitations[edit]
Digital Rights Management
- Designer works on a Windows only platform.
- Viewing PDF forms made with Designer requires Acrobat/Adobe Reader 6.0.2 or later.
- PDF forms made with Designer cannot be edited in Adobe Acrobat, only viewed.
- Some features of Designer forms are dependent on 'user rights' activated through the Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions server product. This applies to all PDFs, even ones created with Acrobat and other 3rd party vendors.
- Acrobat has been able to make forms since Acrobat 3.0, and there are some third party tools which can work with them in addition to Adobe software. However, these are a type of form now called acroforms. Forms created by Designer are an incompatible type (commonly XFA forms) and are not in general compatible with existing non-Adobe software. Owners of Acrobat 7.0 Professional have the choice of making acroforms directly, or using the bundled (on Windows) copy of Designer to create XFA forms.
- When a form object is bound to an xmlnode, the value from that node may only be extracted once. If several objects share the same binding, only the first object will receive the node value when the form is processed.
- There are limitations in the ability of Designer to parse HTML and display it in a form; Designer cannot handle a number of fundamental tags, including ordered list, unordered list and tables. (see https://web.archive.org/web/20150706161930/http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/xml/xfa_spec_2_8.pdf page 1081 for supported tags)[citation needed]
- The program has had a constant issue with users being able to set the tabbing order correctly. The system often reorders the entire form causing the user to have to start over. This problem has never been corrected but can be reduced by the user ensuring every field has a unique name (i.e. Yes/No Radio 1, Yes/No Radio 2, etc.).[2]
- While Livecycle Designer may be the best tool available for Windows users to build dynamic pdf forms, it is known to have a lot of bugs and Adobe does not give it the level of support that it does other applications. Due to this, it does require a learning curve to both reduce and effectively handle the different bugs.[3]
