Modifying document properties

I'm trying to modify the document properties on a form created in Lifecycle Design. Any idea how to do it?

Hi,

If you mean that you have opened the form in Acrobat and have gone to the File > Properties, then no, you can't modify the properties there.

You would need to open the form in LC Designer and go to the File > Form Properties and make the changes there.

Hope that helps,

The form properties do not transfer over to the document properties (that's why I was hoping to update it).  Trying to satisfy my web group by filling in the info which will help with a web search for the form.

Hi,

Without getting to technical. Forms that are created in LC Designer are XML forms, called XFA Forms. They are a completely different animal compared to native PDF documents.

The XFA Form is in a PDF wrapper that allows it to be opened in Acrobat and Reader, but that is as far as the similarities go.
