Designer ES3 with Acrobat Pro 9?

[Carol_H]

I'd like to upgrade my Livecycle Designer ES2 ver 9 to ES3 ($30), but don't really need to upgrade my Acrobat Pro 9 to 10/11 at this point.

Will Designer ES3 work with Acrobat Pro 9?

Tech support says no, I need to upgrade, but I'd like a second opinion, please.

               Thanks!                ~Carol

Yes, it will.  You can save forms that are compatible with older versions of Acrobat and Reader.  The Designer will warn you if you try to use features thar are not compatible with your target version.
