I have read a number of forums, however none of the suggested solutions have remedied this issue. I have Designer ES 8.2, Reader 9.1 & Acrobat Extended 9.1.  I run reader to show clients how an extended form will look when they opened in reader.  has anybody resolved this issue?

None of the solutions listed here work. As ever, silence from Adobe and all the users of the software trying find solutions to f*cking unneccessary problems. You people make sick to death with the amount of time you make your 'customers' wate.

Mr Ashmi - I am specifically referring to Lc Designer ES4 - new version of Lc Designer that is part of the new Adobe XI Pro. None of the responses have specifically referred to my exact question of client based vs. server based. I have been working in Lc Designer ES2 for almost 5 yrs. so I understand what people are expresssing in thier solutios however they are all referring to the earlier versions like 8.0; 8.1.3, 8.2 (which is ES2) and those designer versions can be and are funcitonal on a client base application. In ES4 the option for a Preview PDF tab is grayed out. Is this because you cannot develop applications on a client base? If there is, than there has to be some setting that provides you to view PDF during design and development process as is with ES2 and develop for client based and not server based applcations. I am shocked that Adobe cannot answer this rather simple question.

Guessing this is just a permanent problem with ES4?

The Adobe company is such a joke. I have the same problem as above with ES4. Good riddance!

I am having the same problem and non of the solutions listed here have worked.  I just upgraded to AdobeCC, reinstalled my LiveCycle ES4 and found that I no longer can preview with PDF.  Anoying, but I save the form open my AcrobatDC Reader, check the form, then make the adjustments.  It's extra time and extra clicks which really bothers me.  And yes Adobe does not seem to want to support LiveCycle.  Because I've created so many forms with this program, it would be a real pain to have to redo everything with their new AcrobatDC.  What gives here?

Solution that worked from Adobe:

1. In Internet Explorer under Gear icon (top right) go to Manage add-ons.

2. In the Show drop down select All add-ons.

3. Under Adobe header find Adobe PDF Reader add-on and select it.

4. Click Enable.

Reopen Livecycle Designer and the option and tab to Preview PDF should be available now.
