Importing .ifd to Livecycle Designer ES4

Level 1

Hi!

I am using Windows 7, Adobe Output Designer 5.6 and Adobe Livecycle Designer ES4 v11.1

We have previously used Jetform to create forms, but are now changing to Livecycle. We have quite a few .ifd files we need to import to Livecycle, so I have installed Output Designer (version 5.6, as this is what I was given at work). I can open all the .ifd files in Output Designer without problems, but when I try to open them in Livecycle, I get multiple errors:

1. Error #5907 - No printers found; In fact there are quite a few printers defined on this customers Windows XP system, the just happen to be network printers.  We attempted to define a raw file printer as default, but it didn't change the outcome or the appearance of this error.

2. Error #5903 - You must select a printer before saving; I assume this is a response error to Error #5907

3. Error #1084 - Unable to open configuration file ...\convertIFD\config\pdf.icf

4. Conversion Error: 50463490

In other words, I have the same error codes as I found in this post from 2009; Conversion from Output Designer IFD to LC ES Designer Fails

I have tried (as suggested in the old post) to change the default printer in both Output Designer, Livecycle, and Windows, but it doesn't help.

Is there a compatibility issue here? Does anyone have tips on what I could try?

I don't understand why I can open the .ifd files in Output Designer, but not in Livecycle.

Am I the only one who is having this problem?

I would really appreciate some help on this issue...

im having a similar problem in that any attempt at opening a .IFD results in an alert saying OutputDesigner 5.5 or later is needed. All my searched for this led to me purchasing LC es4, but i still get the same alert.

Have you gotten past this point?
