How do I create an XFAF (XFA Foreground) Form in LiveCycle Designer?

I don't see that option in "save as".

I see only "static form" and "dynamic xml".

Thanks

XFAF means a PDF file with XFA contents (static forms).

In Designer you can save your form designs either as dynamic form (XFA-PDF) or static form (PDF).

The static ones are sometimes also named as XFAF.

See the xfa specs on page 19 for more information about XFAF.

I'm not sure what you are trying to say.

You have a like to a page discussing PDF properties.

I don't understand what that has to do with creating an XFAF file.

Yes, this worked, thank you. It's very confusing that you publish the format name in the specification as XFAF, but don't mention it in the save-as dialog or the help. You might want to add a hint. I can't be the only person who has been confused by this.
