After using this tool for a couple of days, I have realized that the Adobe Designer ES application is a huge step backwards.
I have worked with JetForm 99, Designer 5, 7, 7.1, 8 (briefly), 8.1(briefly) and now ES. ES is by far the most unfriendly from the Designer's perspective.
- xfa.host.print is not supported. I cannot print a form to legal sized paper, even though it is set properly on the master page by the new form wizard/assistant.
- read only fields are in the tabbing order.... thereby making them something other than 'read only'.
- when designing, a selection of multiple fields is not maintained from one operation to the next.
- The relationship between a field listed in hierarchy and in the design view is broken.
- duplicating and copying and pasting of objects is different.
Okay, some of these might be growing pains... but not all. So is a new version in the works? When will it be released?
