LiveCycle Designer for Mac?

Will LiveCycle Designer be available for Mac owners in CS5?

Hi,

Drawing from previous responses and blogs - LC Designer will only be available through Adobe Pro and Workbench. See Stefan's blog here.

If you are purchasing Workbench then it will automatically come bundled.

However if you are getting CS5 you could run into difficulties. Mac versions of Creative Suite that include Acrobat Pro, do not have LC Designer at all.

I am running CS4 on a Mac and had to purchase a separate Acrobat (for Windows) license in order to get LC Designer running on Windows 7 (on Parallels).

Because LC Designer is part of the overall Enterprise Suite, which is Windows based, it is unlikely that the LC Designer component will appear as a Mac version. But I could be wrong - wouldn't be the first time ;-)

Thanks for that input.  I bought Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium for Mac, after calling sales support and them telling me LCD was in the mac version.  I now know better and am stuck between waiting for CS5 to come out (with the hope that it is in there), or to just by the PC version and use BootCamp on my 17" MacBook Pro.

So was hoping that the question would lead to giving me a clue on what to do.

Thanks again for your thoughts,
