>I am quite confused by the fact that if I create an Acrobat form I can't just switch it to designer
This IS confusing, but it's very important to realise that these
aren't just two different programs. They are two different kinds of
form, different in almost every way.
You need to decide which to use, and stick to it, because you cannot
switch between them. Both Acrobat and Designer forms each have
strengths and weaknesses.
>Can I add the simple functions from Acrobat in Designer?
You have to use LiveCycle Designer functions. It has its own
JavaScript language.
>Can I enable rights in Reader in Designer?
This particular thing, so far as I know, you can still do in Acrobat -
can't you?
>It seems to me ... no going back ...
Yes, you're absolutely right.
