Who is providing technical support for Livecycle Designer?
The official technical support for organizations paying for support is Adobe Customer Support. If your organization has a support contract with Adobe and you encounter product failures or bugs, contact support http://www.adobe.com/support/livecycle/ and open a service request.
This forum and other user forums like it are the unofficial support vehicles for the user community to share their problems and solutions. Many Adobe employees and partners voluntarily monitor the forum and provide as much assistance as they can. Adobe employees are not required to contribute to the forum. They do so out of interest for the community and to enable those with less experience and knowledge to utilize the technology as it was intended. The same is true for many non-employees who actively support the forum.
Is there any official response from Adobe on where this product is headed?
If you have specific product concerns you should contact your Adobe sales representative or partner.
