So I upgrade to Creative Cloud. I download and install Acrobat XI Pro. I want to edit an old PDF that has an interative form. I open up the PDF. I'm told "This form cannot be edited in Acrobat. Please use Adobe LifeCyle Designer to edit this form. Learn More". The "learn more" takes me to a page where the only option is to download trail software or purchase Lifecycle for $299. But I don't want trial software. I probably won't use this software again for months - at which point I'll be back at square one. And I pay a monthly subscription for the Creative Cloud prisicely so I don't have to purchase individual product licenses. Isn't that the point? So I get on Adobe Chat Help - and after 30 minutes I'm told Lifecycle isn't part of Creative Suite. Are you kidding me? Isn't building/editing forms an important part of Acrobat? So I seriously can't edit an old form unless i pay you another $299??? What am I missing Adobe???
If you had a previous version of Acrobat that came bundled with the LiveCycle Designer you are entitled to a free upgrade. Information on how to obtain the free upgrade is available here - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/upgrade-livecycle-designer-acrobat-xi.html.
Hope that helps.

Jeff - thanks for the response. I don't seem to qualify - even hough I've had Acrobat Pro for years with the Creative / Web Suites. That doesn't seem to be an option. This is just crazy. Why would this product NOT be part of the Cloud subscription is very frustrating.
Nothing but a money grab by Adobe. Shameful. I'm just going to export or screenshot as an image and load into Acrobat/InDesign/Illustrator.

Sometimes you can save the document in rich text format (rtf) and then save it again as a PDF and that will allow you to edit it.
