Livecycle is a server based product separate from Acrobat. A trial version can be downloaded for the Devnet site.



Reader provides you limited functionality (viewing the PDF, printing the file etc). It is similar functionality to what is in your browser when viewing a web page. You can enhance the functionality of Reader on a form by form basis by Reader Extending the form. A subset of Reader Extensions exists in Acrobat (locally saving and Digitial Signatures) but the full Reader Extensions functionality can only be applied by LiveCycle Server (things like commenting, Database and web service access, etc..).



Emailing the form is standard browser functionality and Reader Extensions is not required for this action. So if all you want to do is email the file back to an email address no additional product is nneded. You may have to write a script to contol the email but that is all.
