Trial Version of LiveCycle Designer 7.1 Missing PDF Preview

[Former Community Member]

Following the HELP/Getting Started instructions to test 7.1, I notice that I do not have the "PDF Preview" tab next to the "Body Pages" tab. I never noticed this missing tab until the final steps of the exercise instruct me to use it. I would really like to continue in the tutorial, but until I get this figured out, I don't want to waste time if the product is faulty. (I was really getting into it...when my heart sank!) Can anyone help me?

You must have Acrobat or Reader installed on your machine if you want to be able to preview your work.

In addition, it is my understanding and experience (with version 6) that it must be installed

b prior

to installing LiveCycle Designer. If that requirement continues with version 7 that means that at this point you would have to uninstall LiveCycle Designer, install Acrobat or the latest Reader and then reinstall LiveCycle Designer.



I suggest you save your work (forms, custom library elements, etc) before uninstalling so you can restore it after reinstalling.

Bear in mind that with Designer included with Acrobat Professional,

and everyone working with PDFs likely to need Acrobat, there may be

little reason for the typical user to buy Designer alone.
