Can you please suggest some books related to Designing PDF's and creating processes.

Hi Ali,

There is a book "Creating dynamic forms with Adobe LiveCycle Designer" by J.P. Terry and there are some books on Acrobat that have a chapter on Designer forms but there is not a lot out there and J.P. Terry's book is a good few versions behind.

I have learnt most from John Brinkmans blog, http://blogs.adobe.com/formfeed/

Nialls blog http://www.assuredynamics.com/

Radzmar blog http://thelivecycle.blogspot.com.au/

Stefan's blog http://forms.stefcameron.com/

and http://blogs.adobe.com/lcdesigner/

I'm sure there are others, and the JavaScript engine is the FireFox one, https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript

Maybe other people can add to the list
